<p>Hello everyone,</p>

<p>Omega Chromega B Dichroic.....</p>

<p>Does anyone know what the largest negative this enlarger can handle without issue?</p>

<p>I've got the Omega B22 Enlarger with the Color Chromega B Head and the condenser head that I have in the original box. I bought the color head in the 1970's as I was able to afford to make the purchase. I only use the color head because it works well with B&W paper, especially VC.<br /> The largest negative it will accomodate is a 6 x 6.</p>

<p>6x6 as I recall (I had a Chromega B XL back in the day)</p>

<p>6x6....that is what I thought, but could not find clear info. I really want a 4x5, however, right now I can do well with a 6x7. To bad a 6x6 just will not cut it.</p>

<p>Thanks to all</p>

<p>I think that puts you in Chromega D territory.</p>

Omega B22 & B series max size is 6x6 cm.<br>

The C700 & C series max is 6x7 cm.<br>

The D series is max of 4x5 in.<br>

I currently still have and use my Omega D5-XL. I purchased this beast in 1974 or 1975, and it's still in almost perfect shape. They sure "don't make 'em like they used to" in this one respect.<br>

I've used it initially for 35mm. Then a brief foray into 4x5 with a borrowed camera. Now pretty much it's 6x7 for me. And the place I bought it in NJ is still in business!<br>

<p>E is 5x7<br>

F is 8x10<br>

I use the Chromega B Dichroic as my main enlarger (when I don't want to mess with my Beseler 45). It is ultra efficient and a joy to use. I use it with 35mm and 6x6.</p>
