Check if the plate that the lens is being screwed into can't be rotated. One of my enlarges had a grub screw that held the plate in place, loosening it allowed the whole thing to rotate so the numbers were visible.

I tried numerous times, deducing that if the lens was now 25% off to the right, I would begin threading 25% off to the left once I unscrewed it.....but I still have all the lenses facing the wrong way! I hope there is some simple method that everyone except me is privy to, and that some kind soul will let me in on it! ;=} Thanks in advance, Adrienne Moumin *************************************** on the web at: http://www.picturexhibit.com Saatchi Gallery: http://tinyurl.com/hw6r3 Art DC: http://tinyurl.com/vtjqf *************************************** ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Internal Virus Database is out-of-date.
