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 ? - narke |

You would have a problem if the enlarger has the lens turret and you have an Apo Rodagon. -- To reply no_ HPMarketing Corp. |

Can it use 50mm lens? Can it use Rodenstock ? 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. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Retired Shop Rat: 14,647 days in a GM plant.

Yah some lenses have too much flange distance,...to rotate the turret or focus when on it. That used to bum people out all the time, and they would get rather mad, after buying new lenses for their new enlargers. -- LF Website @ http://members.verizon.net/~gregoryblank "To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."--Theodore Roosevelt, May 7, 1918 |
