I don't know if this will help?
It's a pdf for the Durst L1000 and at a quick glance it looks as if you will need both condensers the OTOCON 180-1 AND 180-2.

Happy reading!

Hi
I have a Durst CE1000 enlarger which is similar to the L1000, mine is fitted with a CLS450 head I also have a Camcap condenser head, the Otocon would be of no use for either the CLS450 which uses diffusion boxes, the largest condenser for the Camcap is the Camcon 150 to suit 150mm lenses, I think that the Otocon 180-1 would be for 180mm lenses and therefore would fit the condenser head made for a Durst 5x7 enlarger, in conclusion I am fairly sure that theOtocon 180-1 would be of no use with a Durst L1000.

Hope this helps.

Good luck.

P.S. why not ask the seller for the dimensions that would help identify.

Hi,

As has been mentioned, the CLS450 is a colour diffuser head which I use on my L1000. I have the condenser head too, though rarely use it. It has 180-2 and 130-1 condensers.

Your condenser cannot be used with the CLS450. If you want a picture of the condenser head (to see what it looks like) then pm me.

Regards,
Mike
