Multigrade Head
Hi from Denmark,
I have an "OMEGA PRO-LAB 4X5" enlarger, and split-print using six-inch square ILFORD MULTIGRADE filters. I am now in a position where I can afford a dedicated multigrade printing head - preferably from ILFORD. Can anyone advise me as to the possibility of making such a conversion - ie. multigrade head mounted to omega pro-lab enlarger - and, if this is possible what sort of head + "kit" would I then need? As I have printed with this enlarger for well over fifteen years I would not consider changing it for something more compatible for such a conversion. Thanks, Deryck. |

Ilford made a number of conversion kits for the professional enlargers of the time such as the Devere 504 and Durst L1200.
I'm not aware of a kit for Omega enlargers, but if you're handy with tools, then it may not be impossible to make your own adapter......just make sure you're alignment is correct. I made my own adapter for my L1000 before I got hold of a converted L1200. Mike |
