blakeyboy Posted July 17, 2023 Posted July 17, 2023 Does anyone recognise these two bits of optics? Quote
Peckris 2 Posted July 17, 2023 Posted July 17, 2023 One of them looks like an enlarger lens (as in D&P films) Quote
blakeyboy Posted July 18, 2023 Author Posted July 18, 2023 Ooh...hadn't thought of that. What's 'D&P'? Here are a couple of pics that show the adjustments- focus, iris, and two that are pre-set in slots. There is a photocell by the opening at the bottom as well.... Quote
Peckris 2 Posted July 18, 2023 Posted July 18, 2023 D&P = developing and printing, a quaint thing we used to do (or for most - have done) when photos were dependent on a strip of emulsion which, when exposed, had to be plunged into various baths of chemicals thus producing a 'negative' of the photographs. Then this had to be projected onto light sensitive paper using said enlarger, after which the paper was plunged into more chemical baths, then there was your picture! Quote
blakeyboy Posted July 18, 2023 Author Posted July 18, 2023 Oh yeah- I just didn't recognise the abbreviation... Quote
