Anyone Heard the Omega D5V-XL Enlarger?
 

A seller called me and said he got a used Omega D5V-XL Enlarger. I did
not heard it before, and after a google search, I found only D2V. Does
anyone have any ideal about this product? Can it use 50mm lens? Can
it use Rodenstock ?

No problem using a Rodenstock 50mm as long as you have the proper board.
You would have a problem if the enlarger has the lens turret and you
have an Apo Rodagon.

Just click around. XL will mean an extra long column. At least normally.

I've got a D5-XL. I think the "V" refers to the variable condensor
head. The XL is the tall chassis. I use Rodenstock lenses on mine
without problems. Bob from HP Marketing is correct, the 50mm won't
work with the 3 lens turret. My 50mm Rodenstock works fine without
the turret, just a flat lens board and mount.
