5 inches wide in a Fotoman 617 how to

[Jose A Martinez]

I bought a Fotoman 617 Mk-IIL Kit with Rodenstock 90/6.8 Grandagon-N. I love the idea of work with this camera.

My problem is that I can't enlarge wider than 5 inches, 125 mm. I'll appreciete ideas to use this camera in that wide, 5 inches, and print full frame.

Buy a bigger enlarger?

A 5x7/13x18/half-plate will do it.

Cheers,

R.

I scan with a Epson V700 and a wet mount kit, then print on a Epson R2400. Good results. Probably even better with a nikon coolscan 9000 or 8000, but I don't have one... 🙂

My Fotoman 6x17 has the Super-Angulon 90/8 and the results are very impressive. But I'm starting to think of a Xpan and selling the Fotoman: I print mostly on Epson Panoramic paper (21cm x 58cm) and probably a Xpan neg on my LS 4000ED would be more than enough...
