I sold my B8 some years ago and forgot I had picked this up as a spare. This sits over the standard condensers when you remove the lamphouse. The supplementary condenser makes for faster printing of 35mm negs; and, I believe it also distributes the light evenly over the negative.

There were two of them: A "thin" one for 6x6 negatives and a "thick" (13/16") one (this one) for 35mm negatives. You may be able to print 35mm negs without a supplementary condenser, but the supplementary condenser makes it a lot more pleasant .

Many of the accessories for the B8 will also fit the B6 and B7 Omega enlargers. I suspect (but don't know for sure) that this will also fit the B6 and B7 Omegas , Buyer can make that determination. These are hard to find. About mint. $25 shipped within the USA. (photos to follow).
