OMEGA 2 PRO-LAB B-SS & B-SSXL CHROMEGA B & B-XL 2%IIX 2%1I Enlargers

The Omega Pro-Lab and ChrQmega 8 Dichroic enlargers are part of the Omega "8" system. This modular concept combines a basic enlarger chassis (girder, carriage, and base­ board) with either the 8-66 con­ denser or Chromega 8 color lamp­ house to form the complete en­ larger. This traditional Omega approach affords the user maximum flexibility and a broad, interchangeable accessory system. OMEGA PRO-LAB B-SS and B-SSXL 2%IIX 2%1I Triple Condenser Enlargers

OPTICAL GLASS MOUNTED CONDENSERS The enlarger is supplied with three condensers. Each is individually mounted in a black matte finished metal frame. Two 3%" condensers are used for all negative formats. A 2Y2" supplementary condenser is added to optimize light distribution and cover­ age when using 50mm and shorter focal length lenses. 8-66 condensers are identical in quality to those used in the costliest Omega professional en­ largers. They are bubble-free and ground from high-grade optical glass.

QUARTZ-HALOGEN ILLUMINATION The Chromega B uses the proven mono-lamp illumination system. A special 75-watt, 27 volt quartz halogen lamp (Cat. No. 471-043) with integral dichroic reflector gives fast printing speeds for short exposures and out· standing print quality. It will not blacken with age so light output and color temperature remain constant.

The world-famous Super Chromega D and E dichroic color enlargers are standard in professional color laboratories everywhere. The advantages that these en­ largers offer are now available to the home color darkroom enthusiast in the Chromega B Dichroic.

This enlarger is built with the same care and to the same quality standards as the Super Chromegas and has many of their features.
