I am using a Compon-S 80mm on the flat lens board and the 3 1/2" condenser.
I have to raise the lens approx. 36'' above the base board to get nearly the
entire neg. in a 8x10 frame. As you can imagine the neg. suffers with that
much enlargement, etc. I have the manual and it says that the Upper and
Lower condensers should be 3 1/2". Is there another condenser other than the
round metal one, that contains a mounted glass, that mounts on the head? I
also have a 5'' and 6'' metal condensers with glass mounted in them, and a
piece of convex? glass approx. 1/2" thick that is the same diameter of all
of the above heads. It came to me already setting in the 6" condenser, held
above the lower element by an approx 2'' spacer. What do I need to do to get
the negative larger when closer to the base board? Thanx- F.
