8X10 HEADS and accessories

The exhaust blower has been newly lubricated. 170cc cyan, magenta and yellow filtration, white light lever, 12X12" Omega variable density diffusion outlet sheet, 1000W. This head was used fine art photographer. $2000. The first photo is of this head and accessories. The 2nd photo is of another 8X10 Omega head mounted on a 5X7 Durst converted to 8X10; I make such conversions--see my DURST ENLARGERS web page. The Omega 8X10 color head will fit directly on an 8X10 Saltzman or an 8X10 Calumet without alteration. I have 2 8X10 Calumet enlargers on my 11X14, 8X10 and 5X7 ENLARGERS and accessories web page.

As is is without an exhaust blower, w/o a hose, w/o a power supply. Of course, converted to AC, you will not need a power supply. On my web page, I have listed a new Dayton exhaust fan for only $35.

GLENNVIEW WALLMOUNT
For OMEGA or other enlargers. The aluminum L-bracket is a little larger than 8X8X8" and is 1/2" thick. You see it with an Omega mounting plate sitting on it. This Omega mounting plate will fit most Omega enlargers. I have not yet installed the Omega mounting plate because someone may want it for use with a different enlarger. $300 with the Omega mounting plate installed. I will also bore 4 mounting holes in the vertical leg of the L-bracket if you like. If you want to do the work, the components may be had for $275. If you want to use your own mounting plate, the L-bracket may be had for $200. Vise not included.
5X7/4X5 FLOORSTAND
OMEGA 30X40 PROFESSIONAL FLOORSTAND with height adjustable baseboard that allows making of 30X40" prints. Floorstand extremely rigid, weighs 175#, 30" high, 43" wide, 38" deep, fits 4X5 and 5X7 enlargers, literature available. You never knew an Omega could be so rigid until you mounted one on a professional floorstand. A mounting plate is built into the floorstand. $OLD. I leave it up for your information. Frontal diagram of stand below. The enlarger column mounts onto the little projection that sits above and behind the tabletop. Find a photo of the floorstand with the D6XL listed below. It comes with the plywood shelf that I have stuff stored upon. The top is reversible; the opposite side is white.
4X5 ENLARGERS and accessories
Why the Pro Lab D6XL is my favorite Omega and one of my favorite enlargers, and why these particular D6XL's are superior to the D5 and to other D6XL's. Primarily it's the wide selection of negative carriers, the wide selection of heads and the light weight practical design. Negative carriers: The D6XL's accept current D5 style carriers and may be custom adapted to accept older D2 carriers. A Beseler negative carrier to Omega adaptor is available. Carlwen has made a wide variety of very fast and smooth operating negative carriers and some specialty negative carriers for Omega. Condit offers pin registered negative carriers for Omega. Zipper has made some great carriers for Omega. Professional Photo Products Company's Speed Carrier was also designed for the Omega. Heads: The Omega dichroic color head is a good one, with very even illumination. The Mornick color head may be used in conjunction with the Omega condenser head to give a very bright and contrasty image. Some other brands of color heads may be used on the Omega. The Ilford multigrade head made for the Omega is a great multigrade head, with equal exposure from one grade to the next. Omega has made point light source head and cold light heads. The D6 zoom condenser head is faster to operate and better sealed against dust than is the D5 condenser head. Lightweight design is plenty substantial; you'll notice how substantial when it is mounted on the Professional floorstand. The Omega is much easier to move and to ship than many enlargers. It will go by UPS whereas the Beseler 45M series and the Durst L1200 oftentimes will not. The D6XL is equivalent to the D5XL. The D6XL is slightly taller than the D5XL. The D6 takes the same lensboard/turret as the D5. The D6 does not have the sheet of metal between the uprights that the D5 has; this sheet of metal is not structural as it is attached with double sided tape. The D6 and the D5 have a ruler on the upright. The D6 has a micro focusing accessory; it is optional on the D5.

4X5 OMEGA HEADS and accessories
4X5 SUPER CHROMEGA DICHROIC II COLOR HEAD, 4X5" mixing chamber, no power supply. Not pretty, but it functions well, VG, $200. I have no power supplies remaining. I did test it with my last power supply before shipping off that power supply. It works.
Chromegatrol, (combination voltage stabilizer, timer and power supply, instructions), Omega catalog number 412-037, for use with 4X5 or 5X7 Super Chromega Dichroic or Dichroic II color head. See photo below of this PS and the below listed PS. $OLD I have no power supplies remaining.

LIGHT BALANCING DIFFUSION DISK, for Omega or Beseler, 6 7/16" diameter, thicker in the center, simply replace your condensers with this or replace the opal plastic diffusion disk supplied with your Aristo or Zone IV cold light head. Think you don't need it? Guess again. Make a flash test by focusing on the negative plane and making a midtone grey print with no negative in the enlarger. You'll probably find that you have a serious hot spot in the center. This light balancing filter is a new item made by GLENNVIEW, available nowhere else, $100. Similar item in 5X7" format, $250. Similar item for Aristo model 810 cold light head, 8.75X10.75" in size, the largest size I can make, $400. Expect 1-2 stops less light output with this diffusion disk. Are you a machinist? Try machining a thin sheet of plastic. You will find it is not worth your time to learn how. I have sold these to Europe's largest photo equipment distributor. I never thought I would be selling a machined product to the Germans.
