question about a Durst enlarger...
hi ! (excuse me for this question, but i'm a beginner)
i have a Durst F60 enlarger. Naturally, there is the filter drawer, where i know i can put the contrast filters for multigrade papers, but there's also a red filter, which is integrated in the enlarger head, that can be used or not. when i use it, turning a little red knob, the projected image becomes red. i can't understand what's its task : maybe it is useful to project the image onto the paper without exposing it ? thanks for your answers, and excuse me for my english....... |

The red filter is supposedly so you can put the paper on the easel. Frame and compose the print. I never use it on the one enlarger that has it and I've never missed it on enlargers that don't. I figure sooner or later that red filter would get me in trouble. Nick |

That's exactly what the red filter is for. On many enlargers, this filter is on a small arm that swings in and out underneath the lens. I know it's build into the enlarger head on a Durst M600, and perhaps on some other Durst models. This allows you to check the positioning of the easel before exposure. Warren B.
