I only have smaller squarish ilford filters but I know ilford makes larger square ones, but I wouldn't trust myself to cut it to the proper size. I'm not sure what kind of filters go in there since it seems like an odd size. I've discovered that there are filter holders for the little door that opens between the lenses in the condenser. It's all blue, condenser, and has an electric motor to raise and lower the head on a rather large brace. I'm just finally getting started with printing in my own home and until now, I've used smaller contrast filters under the enlarger lens which I'm sure is far from ideal, even though the used enlarger I bought some years ago had a special filter holder below the lens. So, if you are in need of a new light source or if you are interested, I can highly recommend Modern Enlarger Lamps!
The only thing I am going to get is a second power source ($30) just in case something happens to the first one (which I doubt will).Ĭemil is an Omega specialist but he will do custom work as well. Also, the lights have a 50,000 hour life so I doubt I will ever need an additional bank of LED's. I went with the simple white light LED's but he can also make a VC (blue/green) version for about $100 more (I think). In addition, the light is very even and provides excellent contrast. I can only report how happy I am with it! The head is small, compact, quiet and about 2 stops brighter than the light I had on the unit before. He was excited with the opportunity so working together we designed the head and I have been using it for a couple of months now. Failing to find an Omega I contacted Cemil to determine if he could build a custom LED source for the enlarger. I have an old, and sort of rare, Omega E6 5X7 enlarger that needed a new light source. I wanted to give a big shout out to Modern Enlarger Lamps ( ) and the owner Cemil Purut. Not because there is a point in doing that, but just because. Takes about fifteen minutes to put together.Ī few euros, or practically free if you have the parts lying around already like I did.Ī friend suggested that I install a computer fan on it. Thread the clothesline through the holes, tie it up tightly.
Make sure to leave enough room up top so that the clothespins don't move around when you close the lid, and at the bottom so that there's enough room for the chromes to hang freely. Make matching sets of holes with a sharp knife at each end of the box.
