Glass Negative Carrier fo a V35 ?

[Renato Tonelli]

Was there ever a glass negative carrier for the Leica V35 enlarger available - one with glass on the bottom and anti-newton rings glass on top?

Not that I can recall. I've had a V-35 for well over 20 years and it's my main enlarger. Bought used, it came with a glassless carrier. I got the carrier with the anti-newton ring glass on top and no glass underneath and it works fine. I do not recall ever seeing a carrier with glass on both sides and I don't remember seeing one listed in the Leica brochure when the enlarger was current.

Yes, two versions. First had oversize cut for neg. Second has a blue mask embedded into the glass. Second has top AN and bottom plain glass.

I think the first had no bottom glass, but I never owned one. Still have blue mask one and it works well.

Thank you all.
