Durst cls 305
Lou
i bought for my daughter an old second hand enlarger with Durst cls 305
color head, so she can practice an develop her first b&w pictures by
herself. But i can hardly find any manual about this model, and it would be
great if someone could give me a few informations. This would badly help us.
And specially what for is the button in/out called "B.filter
white light" in the front of the enlarger.
And the second on the left of the head ?
Thanks for your help.

First of all go to the Durst website and email them about a manual. At
worst they'll say no but if they have one in stock they'll likely send it to
you.

The white light filter likely moves the filters out of the light path so you
can focus without the filters. It's alot easier then rotating filters
in/out. Set the filters turn on the enlarger then push the button. Do you
now see white light?

I could scan it and send to you as .jpg files, if you want to.

Well, no, as a matter of facts, the swich on the left side does this (remove
filters) , but the button on the front marked "B. filter white light" adds
a kind of filter that attenuates the light when turned on.

When I request one for my enlarger they had it here in about one week.
Haven't they at least answered your email?

Neutral density then?

That's probably what it is. Thank you. I'm learning.
But i can't find what B is standing for...
Best regards

That sounds like what we call a "neutral density filter." It reduces
total light without having to stop down below optimum lens opening or
change the color temperature by dimming the bulb. Useful when you want
a long enough exposure to do some dodging or burning, or as part of the
total filter setting to maintain constant exposure across a range of
multi-contrast filtrations.
