I was told by the Devere people that I had to have the flat lens board for the 300 mm lens. But maybe they were wrong. I will try your suggestions when I get back to Houston. Maybe the lens would work with the recessed cone lens board; however, I have a feeling thatthe hole won't fit both lenses. The 300mm lens is huge. This enlarger (the Devere 108) has a diffusion head.Take out the tape measure. With the bellows fully extended it sound be 300mm or more to the negative stage. I think that's right. More is better. Off the top of my head to do a 1:1 it's 600mm? So some thing in between is what youare looking for.Unless you can't compress the bellows to 300mm you shouldn't need therecessed board. Of course maybe I'm remembering the formulas wrong -) Nick
You are correct. The distance from film to lens at 1:1 (unity magnification) is double that for infinity focus.
