Anti Newton Ring Glass
I don't suppose anyone has a single piece of AN glass out of a 6x4.5 slide mount by any chance.
I am trying to change my glass-less 35mm negative carrier in my LPL7700, into one that has a single glass above the negative, similar to that in the Leica V35 enlarger. Without the glass to stop the negative buckling in long exposures I am wasting a lot of paper. I have a load of 35mm AN pieces of glass, but they are just too small to be able to attach them easily with adequate support along the edges. I have tried commercially available AN glass but it is too thick to fit and maintain the upper part of the carrier parallel with the lower. |

I have a number of 6x7 Gepe glass slide mounts one side is anti Newton, would you be able to cut it or have it cut? |

That is perfect. I should be able to cut them (once I have found my glass cutter) I only need one, but two would be better cos then I can also convert the 6x6 glassless carrier as well. How much do you want for them and of course I would pay the postage.
I will send you a PM with my address and 'phone number. |

John,
I'm not familiar with the LPL7700, but is it possible that there's a heat filter missing from the light path? Mike |

I have an LPL7700 and have never had any problems with a buckling neg even for 6x7. I never expose the neg for longer than about 40 seconds so this might not apply if the exposure is much longer.
Paul p.s. I do have a universal neg holder with glass inserts but prefer to use the individual holders. |

I use an LPL7700 and I have to ask if you are using the correct dichroic reflector lamp: https://www.flameport.com/electric/l...light_lamp.cs4
The LPL7700 has a large heat sink above the lamp housing specifically to dissipate the rearward projected heat from the dichroic lamp and it does get hot! If a simple aluminium reflector projector lamp is used it will overheat the negative stage as it projects the heat forwards. It's a while since I had my enlarger head apart to lube the filter mechanism and I remember there is a thick asbestos - yes, asbestos - spacer between the lamp housing and the filter chamber which I assume is there to minimise heat conduction between the two assemblies. I have never encountered overheating at the negative stage and a check this morning showed a 2 degree temperature rise above ambient for a 3 minute exposure time - and I have never used such a time in real life. |

I was pondering about the very same idea last night.
I thought I was the first to think think up this slide mount glass dodge. It's all been done before. I was wondering if the anti newton slide glass was a success. I know this was a while back, but it would be nice to know the outcome. Cheers.
