Focomat V35 with a Focotar II 50

[taffy]

Hi!

I bought a V35 + Focotar 50mm a couple of months back. I'm finding it difficult finding a 40mm lens plus i live all the way in the philippines.

Can anyone give me tips on how to make a V35 enlarger + Focotar 50mm lens work together? Any DIY solutions? Oh, I don't mind losing the autofocus.

Thanks

You have one of the world's finest enlargers!
My grampa used to have one of those and they are awesome.
Is the lens a focotar? is it clear?

Google is your friend
Check Claudio Bonavolta's page on the V35 with instructions!!!

Yes you hava world-class combo there. Photo.net is quite a good resource also, try the B&W Photo - Printing & Finishing Forum and the Enlargers archive over there. 🙂
