[rollei_list] Re: Durst and Older Omega Enlargers

I think the enlarger Ed is writing about is a Kodak Precision Enlarger, which 
came with interchangable 4 X 5 diffusion and 35 mm--2-1/4 X  3-1/4 condenser 
heads. I used one for a number of years with the smaller head, but have 
replaced it with an Omega B-8 which I prefer. Still, the Kodak is a good 
enlarger whose only faults are long exposure times (even with a 150 W #212 
bulb) and the tendency of the  upright  pole to interfere with the easel  on 
larger prints. I keep mine to use (with a full set of condensers and excellent 
Kodak Projection Ektar lenses) in the unlikely even that I ever buy a summer 
house.

When I was a student at RIT, the enlarger supplied was a Kodak 4 x 5 diffusion 
type. It had a glass carrier to hold negatives flat and a fan to cool it off. 
the fan was turned off during exposures. I bought an identical enlarger at a 
flea market in NY and discovered that it covers slightly larger than 4 x 5. 
This made it more usable for my panoramic negatives. My RIT experiences were 50 
yea
