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.

February 1, 2006, from Lloyd Erlick,
The masks would certainly be a convenience, and cost-free, too. But I
haven't even done that. The sliding masks built into the L1200 negative
carrier body have been sufficient for anything I've had to do. They are
limited, and the fuzzy shadow cast by the edge of the mask blade is
unfortunate, but I've had no problem coping. Centering the negative on
the glass is no problem either, although a mask might help a bit. In any
case this is all in the area of cost-free fine-tuning.
Something about buying a used L1200, though -- the deal absolutely must
include the negative carrier, which is identified as FEMONEG. This is a
book-like hinged holder for the various format inserts or glass inserts.
The inserts or glasses are relatively cheap if purchased new, but the
price of the carrier itself is revealed only after presentation of proof
of health insurance coverage.
regards,
