Thanks. The 60 mm WA lens I'm considering are made for 6 X 6, so that's not a worry. I WAS wondering if I should use the 50 mm supplimentary condenser and if THAT would cover medium forma? If not and I just use the basic condenser, will that give even illumination? I think B8s, like non-variable condenser B2s, require a closed match between lenses and condensers that most other condensed enlargers.
