23CIII-XL
There are three versatile 23CIII-XL enlargers, each offering modular features similar to that found in the Beseler 4x5 system. The 23CIII condenser, Dichro and variable contrast lamp houses are interchanged on the 23CIII-XL chassis.

The 23CIII-XL has a uniquely designed negative stage control, making alignment easier and more precise. Improved rack-and-pinion elevation provides execptionally smooth magnification adjustments, and the positive locking mechanism assures that the magnification settings do not shift during focus or exposure.

The extral long, rigid twin girder construction reduces vibrations allowing prints larger than 16"x20" on the baseboard crom 35mm format. The projection assembly can be tilted for wll projection while a tilting lens stage permits distortion correction.

A below the lens filter hoolder accommodates variable contrast or special effect filters. This enlarger comes with left or right hand controls for focusing. The 16"x25.5" white laminated baseboard provides ample work space.

Lamp houses contain built-in power supply. Swing-out filter holder accepts special effect or variable contrast filters; accepts sturdy, spring-loaded, aluminum alloy negative carriers which can be rotated for precise image positioning.

Snap-in quick change metal lens boards let lenses be changed quickly and easily. The 23CIII-XL accepts the Beseler 35mm and 120 Negatrans. Cat.#8004-02

45 VXL

It's massive twin E-channel, center b raced, vertical column assures that the center of the projected image remains stationary when changing image magnification. Therefore, there is no need to reposition the enlarging easel. (This is especially important with roll easel users.)

The extra long column permits enlargements greater than 24x on the baseboard from 35mm film with a 50mm lens.

The 45V-XL accepts all 45 Series light sources, film carriers and lensboards. Other light sources, (the Super Chromega Dichroic II, Aristo 4x5 Cold Light, and our own 8x19 Conversion Kit) can be installed directly or with the appropriate adapters.
