Hello,
I was recently lucky enough to come across one of these enlargers in mint condition with many accessories and now I am trying to figure out how to use it. I have an owner's manual, and despite this I still have some questions for anyone who is familiar with this enlarger.
It came with a NEGA 138 negative carrier with two pieces of glass. One question I have is how do you line up the negative (I will be printing from 6x17 negatives) straight between the glass so that it is aligned with the cropping blades in the enlarger?
I also have a 6x17 mask that goes in the carrier, taking the place of the glass. When printing a negative as large as this one, will it stay flat enough in the carrier without being sandwiched between two pieces of glass?
The filter drawer has a piece of glass inside with the metal frame creating an opening measuring 3 3/4 x 3 1/2 inches. Do I need to hand cut a filter to go in that space next to the glass?
Thank you
