VC filters for Omega B22

[farmersteve]

I just picked a really clean Omega B22 dirt cheap. I want to get a set of contrast filters for it but I'm a little confused. There seems to be two solutions. One is there is a filter tray in the condenser head and then there is option to have a filter tray below the lens. I don't have the below the lens tray. If I used the tray in the condenser head, which filters do I need to get? Thanks!

Dear farmersteve,

The normal Ilford brand gel filters will be fine. Just measure the filter tray. There are only a few sizes to choose from and one of them should fit. If not you will have to purchase a larger set and cut the filters to size.

Good luck,

I trimmed down four sets of MC filters from 6" square filters. For the B22, I mounted one set in glass slide mounts for 6x6 film for protection and easy handling.

OK, thanks! I figured it was so simple that I was overlooking the obvious...

I have a set of Ilford 6x6 inch Multigrade filters where about half have had about 3/4 of an inch trimmed off, but should still give plenty of available space to cut down for the B22 drawer.
