Help! Broke my rolleimatic enlarger's red slide
"laran" wrote in message ... Richard Knoppow wrote: "laran" wrote in message ... Hello, broke the red plastic, cam-shaped red slide for my rolleimatic enlarger. Can't remember what it is called but it allows me to focus without exposing my image. I anticipate that finding a replacement will be extremely difficult so I would like to cut out a new one. Question: is the red slide just lexan? acrylic? What would be suitable to use for an enlarger? And if possible, sources? In canada??? thanks Laran You may want to join one of the Rolleiflex mailing lists, one is at Freelists and the other at Yahoo. I think its possible a bit of Rubylith, available at art supply stores, may work to replace the original filter. However, I've never used the red filter on an enlarger. I use a scrap of paper the same thickness as the paper I am printing on under the grain focuser. This is probably not necessary due to the depth of focus is more than sufficient to compensate for the paper thickness. The brighter image will make focusing much easier. About the only time I use the red filter is for complex dodging or burning in. -- Richard Knoppow Los Angeles, CA, USA do you have url's for these lists? thank you once again... These were once a single list but it split a couple of years ago. On is on Freelists which is a mailing list service. http://www.freelists.org from there you must register and can choose which lists to join. This one is called rollei_list. The other is on Yahoo and can be accessed there or via e-mail. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/rolleiusers/join You will have to register with yahoo. Yahoo wants to send mailing lists in HTML with advertising but you can opt out of this in your settings. You will have to reset them periodically. While both lists are officially for discussion of Franke & Heideke products they range all over the place. I am co-administrator of the Freelists one and can help if you have trouble subscribing. Write me directly for that. You will get a challenge message from my spam blocker but just return it and I will unblock you and answer the message. There are people on both lists who know the Rollei enlargers. -- Richard Knoppow Los Angeles, CA, USA |
