  • Which Beseler Enlarger?

    From [email protected]@21:1/5 to All on Fri Jun 1 23:53:36 2018
    Hi David,

    I’m a curious if the 23c ii with the dual Dichro head mounted could print horizontally? It looks like it would be a tight fit to get the color head through the struts of the chassis.

    I feel like an idiot for not knowing for sure (I used a 23c for
    decades). But, my answer is "I think so, but..." IIRC, the head will
    fit through the struts, but the weight and balance made me feel it was inadvisable. Plus, the mounting of the dichro head isn't ALL that
    secure, and I think it would flex out of alignment.

    What I did was remove the baseboard and bolt my enlarger directly to
    the table. Then I made a cut-out in the table to project onto the floor
    below. I could print on any size paper that would fit in my darkroom.

    Howdy!

    I have the opportunity to purchase a one of two enlargers made by Beseler, but I don't really know the difference between them. Hopefully someone can help. What are the differences between the Beseler 23CII and the 23CIII XL? I intend to use it initally for 35 mm negs, but might move up to 4x5 or 6x9 at some point in the future. Any info would be appreciated!

    The 23C11 and the 23C111 XL are escentially the same except the column on the XL is a bit taller. They both will enlarge 6X9 but not 4X5 film.
    for 4x5 you must buy one of the 45 series enlargers.

    Regards

    You may want to check the dates of the posts to which you are
    replying. I really hope the OP hasn't been waiting for an answer for
    almost 19 years!
