Response to Negative carrier/enlarger for enlaging Xpan negs.

I did as Ed Buffaloe suggested when I posted a similar question and made a panoramic negative carrier for my Omega D2 enlarger out of 4-ply mat boards. A sandwich of 4-ply mats is stiff enough to hold negatives flat. Ed didn't mention it, but his method has the advantage that you can easily bevel the window openings with your mat cutter so you get sharp instead of blurry edges of the carrier if you print full-frame. You can afford to experiment, too--it's cheap! Tim Nelson
