Default Durst m670 bw Neg Carrier

Hello all , i am new to this forum and to darkroom photography in general although i have 20 years experience as a photographer. I have recently set up my first darkroom and have managed to buy , second hand , a Durst m670 bw enlarger . My issue is with the negative carrier. It was supplied with a 35mm carrier and i wish to get one that i can use different size negatives in. My problem is i am unsure of which of Durst's alternative negative carriers are compatible and was wondering if there is anyone here ,with the linguistic aptitude to understand Durst's rather odd way of naming things, who could let me know what the options are ! Many thanks in advance.

Hi and welcome to the weird and wonderful world of Durst. I don't have this format only the M805 and L1200 models. However, on downloading the manual it appears a kit is necessary for 6x6 and 6x7 formats.

Black-and-white conversion kit for enlarging 6 x 7 cm films with the Ourst M 670 BW To enlarge 6X7 cm (21/. X 23/. in.) films in the Ourst M 670 SW you need a speCial conversion kit (Order code VEGASET 67. available separately). consisting of the following:
-Double condenser for 6 x 7 cm films
Upper anti-Newton coated negative carrier glass
Lower glassless metal mask for 6X7 cm film
-Lens tube to take a 100/105 mm lens
-Filter drawer with two glasses -Extensive arm for red filter holder.

Black-and-white conversion kit for enlarging 6 X 6 cm films with the Ourst M 670 BW A conversion kit (Order code VEGASET 66) is available separately for enlarging 6 X 6 cm (21/4 X 21/4 in.) films with the Durst M 670 BW. The kit consists of:
-Condenser for 6 X 6 cm films
-Upper negative carrier glass with anti-Newton coating
-Glassless mask for 6 X 6 cm film.

It may be tricky to find complete sets without purchasing a new enlarger.

Unfortunately, it's not as simple as replacing the negative carrier or inserts.
