Compatible Cold light heads for Omega D5V

Can anyone give me a run down of what's available, what to look at & what to avoid? Thanks. The only manufacturer I know that's still making cold light heads is Aristo (http://www.aristogrid.com/cold_light_chart.html). They're sure to have one that will satisfy your needs. And a word of advice: whichever one you get, get the light tube balanced for variable contrast paper. V54, I think. The VC tube will work with both VC and Graded types of paper. There's even a tube balanced for color papers, but if you intend to do color, too, I would recommend that you just get an Omega color head. It will work just fine with b&w and it's a diffusion type head just like most cold light heads. Stef |

If you to VC work, you might wish to consider their one of their 2-tube heads (green tube and blue tube) specifically designed for VC work. By adjusting the relative brightness of the two tubes, you can get the contrast grade you want (and even finer, if it matters, that 1/2 VC grade). They do cost more than a single tube head, of course. -- .~.
