Omega makes a relining kit for each type of box both of which
are pricey. My Initial thought concerning John's problem was there
was an issue with the foam or the diffuser, sometimes it goes bad over
time. Unfortunately his rather obtuse method of describing the problem
lead me a rather circular thought process.

Won't happen again.

Mine were still both perfectly white. The material is a tight, closed cell
type, rather unusual.

So now I am obtuse. Should I be keeping track of your assessments?

Is the fall off during use of the DD mix chamber when
printing
4x5 negatives using that lens ?

Yes, when printing 4x5 with a 150mm Schneider Componon.

You know of course about that bellows lock lever that
allows you
to adjust the bellows draw?

Certainly.

Please clarify. Are you saying that you get asymetrical
fall off with the Zeiss lens but not the Schneider lens?

Excuse me, here comes a Tim Allen moment,
I wonder what would happen if the chamber were lined w/ krinkled
aluminium foil? would it harm the evenness of the light? Of course it
would be faster.
cheaper, & ezer to find.

I don't know. I was planning to use foil to line the light unit that I
want to build for 5x7. But that's only for B&W. I wonder if foil would taint
the colour of the light? Not an issue for B&W but for colour?

Now if I only can find somebody at the big box hardware store to answer
some questions. Pretty soon I'm just going to rip open the box on my own-)))

Kinkled? I think not. Maybe just paint the interior white.

Foil has no color.
