Soviet enlargers. I used to have two and seeing a few more. In 70ties when I became interested in photography for amateurs a few models was available. The smallest one YPA, very compact, format only 35mm, fitted in the case not bigger than regular briefcase. When enlarger assembled case itself served as a backboard. A lot of people who just printing small vacation photos for the family album used it happily. It was strong, compact don’t need a lot of space for the storage. A few different models of Leningrad with pantograph raising mechanism, for 35mm was produced. All of them condenser type with simple light head. Usually light head was designed the way that the light bulb position can be adjusted for more even light spread. In all enlargers between the light bulb and condenser a matte glass was presented. All enlargers was with a filter holding compartment. We never had a specific color printing heads, but the set of gelatin filters for color printing was from time to time available in the stores. All of enlargers was well made, strong, durable, mostly metal parts, with just a plastic or carbolite knobs. A friend of mine had an older one , from his passed father. That was like a Leica copy, very strong and nice enlarger. The biggest I had was a Neva with format size up to 6x12mm. Design classical for enlargers: focusing board with vertically standing tube made column, just bigger and taller. What I didn’t like in my Neva that the big plastic bracket witch hold and moved the head up and down along the stand. The only one plastic detail in all assembly but not strong enough and because of it the extra time was needed for the enlarger to became still after focusing. So finally I ended up with nice polish medium format Crocus. All enlargers was with the glass film holders. Probably not in all of them the glass was anti-newton type. The god thing, that all of them was very, very cheap and affordably priced. Just one time I seeing the big industrial type Neva. That was a big floor standing motorized monster, it was equipped with the light fixtures for optional photo copying on both sides. It was big and expensive, and not for the sale in the store. This machines was for industrial labs and was distributed directly from the factory. That’s probably all what I know about Soviet enlargers.
