Manufacturer's Specifications: Leitz Focomat lIc Enlarger. The title of the review was "The Most Expensive Enlarger We've Ever Tested." I've edited it for brevity. The following unsigned review appeared in the now-defunct Modern Photography magazine, April 1974. Darkroom Photography magazine, Vol 3 #5, September 1981.Modern Photography magazine, December 1949.Modern Photography magazine, October 1962.On smaller enlargers this wouldn't be a problem, but at larger magnifications (and with lenses with shorter focal lengths), this can become a concern. angled forward) are nice at higher head elevations because the image won't expand back across the column post when the head is at the top of the post. What they do is offer a sort of tracking control so that once the image is focused, it stays in focus as you change the elevation of the head for cropping.Ĭolumn: all columns are assumed to be vertical unless oblique is noted. Tube means that the lens is set into a tube that moves up and down (as opposed to bellows).Īutofocus: not to be confused with what we think of as autofocus today these enlargers don't focus themselves.Rack & Pinion means that the lens stage moves up and down via a knob that turns gears.Helical focusing means a collar around the lens is turned, and the lens housing is threaded so that the lens moves up and down.Bellows means that the lens stage is connected to bellows that expand and collapse, and the bellows are typically moved via a wheel using friction (as opposed to using rack & pinion gears).Reviewed Modern Photography Oct 1979 Reviewed Darkroom Photo magazine Jan 1980 (Vol 2 #1)Įra: It's nearly impossible to get actual production year spans I've provided this simply to give an idea of when an enlarger was in production.

I have a few of Instruction Manuals and brochures available for download. And as with anything Leitz, they have a strong enthusist base and they're well documented. As with anything Leitz, I can't afford them. The German firm of Ernst Leitz is most famous for its Leica camera line, but they made a number of other things as well, including a line of enlargers.
