bda Posted June 17, 2002 Share Posted June 17, 2002 I have recently purchased a second-hand Focomat Ic enlarger. Unfortunately, it did not come with the user manual. If anyone here has a copy to spare, I would be extremely grateful. Any suggestion on how I could get it from other sources will be welcome.

frederik_boone Posted June 17, 2002 Share Posted June 17, 2002 There used to be one on LHSA which I can't find there anymore. Thank god I downloaded it and I did send it by mail. Good luck with your focomat, a very good enlarger. BTW what lens do you have on it ? Some say it can be only calibrated for autofocus with the leitz focotar lens. This is not correct, I have on mine a Schneider componon-s and it works perfectly. If you have a focotar on it, don't expect to improve a lot with newer lenses. I didn't notice a big improvement anyway comparing an old focotar with a new schneider componon-s. Both very good lenses. Greetings, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas_apitzsch Posted February 19, 2003 Share Posted February 19, 2003 Would you send me the manual as well? Thank you! Thomas 'Tom' Apitzsch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_lindsay Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 This question seems to come up a lot,--so I scanned in my manual and have it on the web here: http://members.cox.net/leitzleica/Manual.html Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eduardo_barriga Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Hello, it seems that the above web page is down. Any other possibility of getting this instruction manual since I have just purchased a Focomat 1c enlarger and I need the manual? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark-j Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 PM me and I can send you the .pdf file on the focomat 1C. The original that the .pdf was created from appears to be dated 1952. I have mine set up with a Schneider 50 Componon and the auto-focus can be calibrated to work quite well with it. The file is 1.8 MB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
