120 negative slide for enlarger

[Pricer]

Hi all,

got used to deving my own films now and i still have permission to use my collages enlarger but they have no slide for 120 film, only the normal 35mm.

anyone know where i can pick one up from?

its for a Jessops 3500 Enlarger

cheers

You sure it can take 120?

I thought only certain englargers could do 120, I maybe wrong

Ekimeno just acquired that enlarger.
I don't know for sure, but I think its called a 3500 because it only does 35mm.
Enlargers capable of enlarging M/F negs generally have 75/80mm enlarging lens and a much taller post.
I dunno if you even found a 120 carrier, whether this enlarger could do even a small enlargement with a 50mm lens and short post :shrug:

Yes, this enlarger only does 35mm film with a maximum print size of 8x10. Also, the light is best for mono prints, though can do colour as well... so I've read.

ah right, i just thought you could get like a universal slide :shrug:

If you could fit a 120 neg under the enlarger it would work but you'd only get a circle in the middle of the negative to project onto the paper. To print medium format you need a longer lens (usually 75-80mm) and a medium format diffuser (if your enlarger uses one) to get an even spread of light across the negative.
