[pure-silver] Re: help with finding an 4x5" enlarger

I am lucky to have a Durst 138. I have the mixing chambers for 5x7" 
(13x8cm) and 6x9 cm.  I've never used the 6x9 chamber, though if I were to 
print 35mm with this enlarger I may try it.

I agree with Lloyd that the glass carrier for your largest negative is all 
you need.  You can make a mask from a sheet of waste film or black paper 
for all the smaller formats.

this is a very good suggestion. thanks lloyd.
since you've used it longly with all the accessories, i trust in the
fact longer/shorter exposures don't make that difference.

and i'd like to say once more, since i know some friends of a similar
italian list are subscribed to this one, too, that i'm quite a newbie
in darkroom, then i probably wouldn't able to notice any difference.

i fell a little bit ashamed saying this, but i have 2 different
condensers for my agfa enlarger and can't find *any* difference
between them. i know one is for 135 and one is for 120->6x9, but i
can't figure out which.

ok, thank you once more.
