Another Omega B22 Question

greenspun.com : LUSENET : B&W Photo - Printing & Finishing : One Thread

Hello. I have heard the praise for the B22 for 35mm. Assumming that it is set up correctly for 2 1/4, is this enlarger capable of producing excellent results with 2 1/4 negatives? Thank you.

Francis

Sure, but remember it's designed only for 2 1/4 x 2 1/4, nothing larger. Use a decent 75 or 80 mm lens and be sure to remove the supplementary condenser.

It works very well for 2 1/4 square negatives, it just won't go any bigger. Get a decent lens in the suggeste range and you'll be pleased. There is a small condensor that sits on top of the big ones and you need to take it out.
