Focomat V35 Question

[Henk]

Hi,

Yesterday I bought a Focomat V35 AF wtih Fococtar 2.8 40mm enlarger.
It is one with a color head. I handled it a bit, what an easy and comfortable
enlarger to work with !

Are there among you who use this combination with Ilford FB IV Multigrade paper with satisfactory results ?

Does the dual filtration with Y & M keep the exposure times constant
as indicated by Ilford ? That would be great !

Thanx !
Henk

Henk,

I use my V35 regularly for B/W printing. I bought the multigrade head though to make life easier. The colour head works well too, but personally I wanted an easier life. Great enlarger and the 40 focotar is very good too.

Hi,
some weeks ago I got a Focomat too.
Does someone know, where I can get an instruction book?

Best thing is to buy Rudolf Seck's book on the Leica Darkroom Practice. It's about GBP20 and still available as a hardback.
