Durst 184 chassis, Ilford 500HLE Multigrade 1200W head with 220V power supply, controller, foot switch, exposure probe, bellows have pinholes but are servicable, Durst GRAHALON pin registered carrier frame and Durst GRANE 205 pin registered carrier with 2 sheets of plain glass, manual crank head and table, 25X33" vacuum baseboard, lens stage tilt, rotating head (for perspective control or horizontal projection), locking wheels for tracking to and from wall, Ex+, $8000. This enlarger is illustrated above with a color head on it. The head is listed in more detail and illustrated below. Consider an upgrade to the Durst custom altered GRAHALON and GRANE glassless stretching type negative carrier listed below for $1000.
8X10 DURST COLOR HEAD
CLS 300 Dichroic colorhead, 2000W, 220/240V, 10X10" mixing box, stabilized power supply, all original Durst filters, reflective coating on Dichroic reflectors typically deteriorated, infrared filters keep heat out of mixing box and away from your negative, auxiliary filter drawer, thermostatically controlled built-in blowers keep air flowing over lamps + the hoses and external blower as illustrated in above photo of the head mounted on the Durst chassis, corner of mixing box diffusion outlet sheet is broken outside of image area--see photo below, Ex+, $3200
Durst Color Laborator 184 LACOBOX 138 5X7 mixing box for CLS 300 or CLS301, $600
Durst V184 handcrank without the end gear. If you have a motorized V184 and are worried about it failing, here is your insurance policy. The same gear is used on the motorized version. Move the gear from the motorized drive shaft to this handcrank and you are back in business. $150
ILFORD VARIABLE CONTRAST HEAD
Ilford 500HLE Multigrade 1200W head with 220V power supply, controller, foot switch, exposure probe, with Ilford adapter to fit the Durst 8X10 chassis, with set of nuts and bolts Illustrated below. If you are printing strictly B&W, this is the head to have. If you are printing color and B&W, then you will want this head for your B&W work. This head will outperform any color head for B&W work with multigrade paper. This head allows you to change contrast w/o changing exposure. This head will give you a longer contrast range and a higher maximum contrast than any color head. The head has an automatic thermostatically controlled forced air cooling system. It uses readily available ELH 300W projection bulbs with reflectors. When you change bulbs, you change reflectors. The illumination of both soft and hard light is even. This head is extremely RARE. Ex+, $4000.
The Ilford 500HLE Multigrade head adapter is supposed to come with nuts that allow you to use your Durst head-hold-on bolts to attach the adapter to the chassis. The used adapter I ordered did not come with those nuts, so I had to make a set. The Durst head-hold-on bolts are short and would have required nuts that were twice as long. I opted to make shorter nuts and replace the bolts with longer bolts. The set of 4 custom nuts + 4 bolts is $100 postpaid. Those nuts have now been black anodized. Anodizing leaves a hardened surface that is resistant to corrosion and wear. This is another example of the machine work that I do for my customers.
SUPER BRIGHT MURAL PROJECTION HEAD
5X7/8X10 1500W DURST MURAL PROJECTION LIGHT SOURCE: Macbeth Pulsed Xenon super bright Light Source, power supply with built-in timer, lamp in diffusion housing designed to be mounted in your 5X7/8X10 Durst condenser head in place of ordinary bulb socket (maintaining XYZ adjustment), blower and hose. This is the brightest light source ever made for the Durst. This comes with a used bulb and a new bulb. New bulbs are still available and cost $85. A customer who uses such a unit daily says bulbs last about 5 years. PS is large and heavy and will probably have to be trucked. Price includes S&H to anywhere in the lower 48 US. Ex, $1800
8X10 DURST ENLARGER ACCESSORIES
DURST LARANEG NEGATIVE CARRIER INSERT
Durst LAGRAFI 184 double glass pin registered carrier insert designed for use with the Durst LARANEG negative carrier and 18X24cm film. Of course, it will also work with smaller films, especially 5X7 and 4X5 films. This register insert has LORVALO and MIVALO registration pins built-in, for older and newer Durst registration systems. The LAGRAFI 184 is 269mm square outside dimensions with beveled edges. It will serve as a pin registered carrier for any enlarger with a stable carrier to accept this insert. This item is unused. The glass is clear, not anti-Newtonring, not coated, with ground and polished edges and is unscratched. $400
8X10 DURST PIN REGISTERED NEGATIVE CARRIERS
Durst GRAHALON pin registered carrier frame and Durst GRANE 205 pin registered carrier for Durst 8X10 enlargers, no pin bar included (but then you never get the right pin bar included anyway unless you buy it new), glass not included, Ex+, $1000 with enlarger or $1200 if purchased separately, 2 available
Negative carriers can make or break an enlarger. Few negative carriers are well designed. Cheap glassless negative carriers like Omega and Beseler allow the film to buckle under heat, crop too much of the image and reflect light off the inside edges of the carrier opening making even more of the perimeter of the image unuseable. Expensive glassless negative carriers like some Durst carriers have beveled interior edges, but still crop into the image and allow buckling. Glass carriers prevent the film from buckling, but still oftentimes cut off some of the image. Of course, with glass carriers you have 4 extra surfaces to keep clean and may encounter Newtonrings. I have developed a glassless stretching type negative carrier that holds the film taught without glass and yet still allows printing of the full image--even the full negative. I have built 2 such carriers for use with an 8X10 Durst. I can build carriers for other enlargers and other formats. I may be able to build an insert to fit inside your carrier. I should be able to build a carrier to fit most sheet film enlargers. The design will not work with rollfilm. The cost will vary with the effort required. The 8X10 Durst carriers are priced at $500 and $2000. Here are the listings for the 8X10 Durst carriers:
CUSTOM GLASSLESS STRETCHING TYPE NEGATIVE CARRIER FOR 8X10 DURST, film is held taught without glass, allows printing of entire negative, requires use of Condit 8X10 diagonal punch, or some other small hole punch to punch holes in corners of negative as the negative is held in the carrier with small springs that must go through small holes in the negative corners, made of oak with velvet bearing strips around the perimeter of the top and bottom to protect your enlarger negative stage, negative may be oriented vertically or horizontally, carrier may be inverted, with handle, may be made for other formats and other enlargers as well, NEW, a GLENNVIEW product, $500 with an 8X10 diagonal film punch.
CUSTOM GLASSLESS STRETCHING TYPE NEGATIVE CARRIER FOR 8X10 DURST, made from DURST GRANE 205 PIN REGISTERED CARRIER and DURST GRAHALON PIN REGISTERED CARRIER FRAME, film is held taught without glass, allows printing of entire negative, with 8X10 DIAGONAL PUNCH, negative is held in the carrier with small springs that must go through small holes in the negative corners, the springs are on adjustable mounts for ease of loading, negative may be oriented horizontally only, a custom GLENNVIEW product, $2000 with an 8X10 diagonal punch. Here is an image that was printed with the carrier. Image made with 90mm Hypergon.
Carlwen after market negative carriers are some of the best and most convenient negative carriers made, and as the experienced darkroom worker knows, negative carriers can make or break an enlarger. Carlwen is no longer in business. Carlwen carriers are now only available on the used market. Carlwen carriers are separate from Carlwen bases. The carriers will fit bases for different enlargers, but the bases are specific to the enlargers. Bases accept different width carriers. The bases are made primarily of Phenolic, which means that the Aluminum carriers slide easily through the bases and that the holes in the bases are easily enlarged if necessary. You may often print a shorter negative in a longer frame opening. Oil immersion carriers require a glass top plate to hold down the negative and appropriate oil. I can have top glass plates made. I presently do not know what is appropriate oil for this purpose, but the oil should have the same refractive index as does the film base--which results in elimination of scratches and dust and other minor imperfections. I am told that clear mineral oil will work. I can make bases for some enlargers.
Carlwen carrier base, model LB45 for 8X10 Durst Laborator 184, for 4X5 and smaller Carlwen carriers 4.8" wide, you will need to order the carriers separately--see immediately below, Ex, $300

Durst condenser cases for any number of condensers made of high quality Birch plywood with virtually unbreakable clear polycarbonate sliding dust cover. A GLENNVIEW product. None made up presently. Will manufacture cases for whatever # of condensers you wish. $250 for a 5 (or fewer) condenser case. Add $40 per condenser above 5. Durst's case was made of painted chipboard for 5 condensers and had an open top. My case is superior to Durst's. Very similar to the case for Durst 5X7 condensers illustrated below--but without the handles because you will not be able to lift it with the condensers in it anyway. Add $100 for a set of casters added to the bottom. Without the casters you will want to leave it put in one location after being loaded.
DURST CONDENSER SET (?) One very special Durst oversized condenser set of 2 condensers in a metal housing. Outside dimensions are 15X15X5.187". There are 3 slight chips where the condensers are held in place at the edges, the worst of which is illustrated. A customer said he believes this condenser set is for the Durst 2400 horizontal projection enlarger, label on one side says "1/2 of condenser set 2803.022," $300.
Durst auxiliary filter holder for use with Lazuco, Mint-, $60
Durst FILCA 184 12X12" filter drawer, can be used as negative carrier in a head you build yourself, Ex+, $150
Durst STAFOBOX 69, 6x9cm upper mixing box for CLS 2000 colorhead, new-in-box, $200
Blower for Durst condenser heads, with plywood base, hose and hose end connector for Durst condenser head housings, Ex, $150. The 2nd photo shows the blower hose connected to a 5X7 Durst condenser head housing. The tube next to the hose allows the light source power cord to pass through. The hose and the hose fittings at either end appear to be Durst made. The blower, however, is an American made Dayton blower of very high quality. I have some new Dayton blowers available in case you want a spare. This blower blows air into the Durst condenser head for forced air cooling. Without it the Durst condenser head is simply convection cooled--by hot air rising. Convection cooling is fine for 200W or less.
Durst LAFAN 301 blower fan for CLS 300/301 color heads and others, with rubber footed base and end connector for Durst hose, length of hose, with filtered air supply, Ex+, $300
LASDAP & VADAP, adds perspective control tilting easel capability to G139 and SM183, or most any Durst mounted on 8X10 lower chassis, with enlarger purchase, Mint-, $350, Ex+, $300, or $100 extra each purchased separately
300MM F5.6 RODAGON, coated, illuminated F-stop scale, mounted on 8X10 Durst VAPLA lensboard (about 8" O.D.), separation around perimeter of both front and rear elements, lens still performs exceptionally well, otherwise Ex+, $450
300mm F9 Apo Tessar, coated, barrel, filter slot, mounted on small Durst lensboard to fit turret or on Durst Vapla lensboard (about 8" O.D.), many very slight cleaning scratches front element will affect the lens' performance slightly, but it stared out as such a great lens that it will still outperform most others, otherwise Ex, $275
300MM F5.6 DURST COMPARON, coated, mounted on Durst lensboard (about 8" O.D.), Mint-, $400
240mm F9 Rodenstock Apo Ronar, coated, barrel, filter slot, stops down to F180, boxed, with guarantee certificate, mounted on threaded black anodized Durst lensboard (~77mm diameter), Mint-, $400
240MM F11 RODENSTOCK APO GRAPHIGON, coated, optimized for the 1:3 to 3:1 range, mounted on black anodized Durst 77mm lensboard, Mint-, $650
The above lenses are lenses that are mounted and ready to go. I can mount most any lens for use on an 8X10 Durst.
Will manufacture the large flat lensboards to fit 8X10 Durst in shiny Aluminum with a pilot hole. Add $35 for hole bored to specified size. Add $6 each for accurately locating holes, boring holes, threading holes, supplying appropriate screws and mounting the flange. No flange--no problem; I'll thread the lensboard to mate with your lens for $50. Anodizing: It costs me a minimum of $75 to anodize anything. I needed to make one of these lensboards for a customer recently. While I was at it, I made several lensboards with different threads to accommodate several lenses I have in stock or lenses you may wish to mount on your enlarger. These large lensboards replace the turret. I will also make custom smaller lensboards to fit the turret for less money. These already made lensboards are a bargain at the listed prices and they are ready to ship out.
Large flat lensboard to fit 8X10 Durst and any lens with 55mm by 0.75mmp threads such as the 150mm F4 Schneider Apo Componon HM lens. Lens belongs to a customer, so lens not included and not available separately. Mint lensboard, $250
Large flat lensboard to fit 8X10 Durst and any lens with 90mm by 1mmp threads such as the 300mm F5.6 Rodagon G lens illustrated. Lensboard is also illustrated with a 300mm Componon lens. Lensboard will also accept a 300mm F5.6 Rodagon and several other lenses. This is probably the most commonly needed lensboard for an 8X10 Durst. Lenses not included, but available separately. Mint lensboard, $250. Add $600 for the Mint- Rodagon G lens. Add $300 for the Ex Componon lens.
Large flat lensboard to fit 8X10 Durst and any lens with 58mm by 0.75mmp threads such as the 240mm F11 Rodenstock Apo Graphigon lens. Lens not included, but available separately. Mint lensboard, $250. On the right see that same lens mounted on a small Durst lensboard to fit the turret. In the case of this lens on the turret, you must mount the front element on the lensboard, then screw the rear element into the rear of the barrel from above. It is a hassle, but it is the only way to use this lens mounted on a turret. Add $600 for the Mint- lens.
Small flat lensboard to fit 5X7 or 8X10 Durst turret or any other Durst enlarger that accepts the 77mm diameter lensboard and any lens with 58mm by 0.75mmp threads such as the 240mm F11 Rodenstock Apo Graphigon lens. Lens not included, but available separately. Mint lensboard, $125. The only way to use this lens mounted on a small lensboard is to mount the front element on the lensboard, mount the lensboard onto the enlarger, then screw the rear element into the rear of the barrel from above. Add $600 for the Mint- lens.
Large flat lensboard to fit 8X10 Durst and any lens with 75mm by 0.75mmp threads such as the 300mm F5.6 Schneider Comparon lens illustrated. Lens not included, but available separately. Mint lensboard, $250. Add $300 for the Mint- lens.
A lot of my customers looking for 8X10 enlargers do not have room for the usual 8' or taller 8X10 enlarger. I have built several smaller 8X10 enlargers for such customers. This is the best alternative. The 5X7 Durst is of such a user friendly size for the average person and it is plenty big enough and stable enough for 8X10. With the baseboard that may be lowered almost to the floor, you may easily make large prints. In order to convert a 5X7 Durst to 8X10, I mill out the negative stage, replace the bellows, make a negative carrier, and add an adapter plate to fit the head you choose to use. The photos below illustrate such a converted enlarger designed to be used with an Aristo 12X12" variable contrast cold light head. I had Aristo ship to me the bezel ring or head retaining ring, a 12X12" black painted ring that you see sitting atop the adapter plate. The Aristo head was shipped directly to the end user. In this case the photographer wisely had me make a glassless stretching type negative carrier. The last image was sent to me by the buyer of this enlarger. In the foreground is the Durst G139 5X7 enlarger converted to 8X10 sitting next to a Durst L138 5X7 enlarger in my customer's darkroom. The bellows assemblies on these 2 enlargers started out the same; only the bottom half of these 2 5X7 models differ. The quality of this customer's analog photo is testament to his professionalism. When you are making big enlargements and may be working with the easel a long way from the focusing knob, the crank up table of the G139 comes in handy; you fine tune the focus by cranking the baseboard up/down while looing into your grain magnifier. The lens on the G139 is a 240mm Apo Graphigon; I have one G139 left and I have one 240mm Apo Graphigon left. The price of a similar enlarger built for you (not including the light source) is $3000-3500.

Why choose a 5X7 Durst? Simply because it is the best enlarger available in the format. It has the precision, adaptability, and features lacking in other enlargers. Completely, easily alignable. Allows printing of all formats from 35mm to 5X7" and 6X17cm panoramic, and even 8X10" with one of my conversion kits. Virtually any head may be adapted to the enlarger. Any head you might want has been produced for the enlarger. The design allows large prints to be made on the baseboard and huge prints to be projected onto the wall. It has copy camera capability that surpasses that of most dedicated copy cameras because of the adjustable head and easel. It weighs only about 150#, and is easily disassembled. 7' tall, the column is in 2 parts. The head comes off the negative stage. The negative stage comes off the upper column. The easel and the base come off the lower column. The enlarger easily fits into a compact car. The enlarger is UPSable.
There are 5 vintages of the 5X7 Durst, + some specialized models. the current model is not a floormodel. Most all you will find will be floormodels. Most may be wallmounted. Most have 360 degree revolving negative stages, tilting lensstages, tilting easels, 3-lens turrets, adjustable height heads and easels, complete alignment capability, 4-blade masks, micrometer scales on column, counterbalanced heads. Most floormodel 5X7 Dursts are on grooved wheels which may be put on tracks; with the head turned 90 degrees, the enlarger may easily be moved to and from a wall mounted easel. The easel on the earliest vintage model is raised and lowered manually and is locked with a simple column clamp. The easel on the midvintage model and later models is counterbalanced with a footpedal release-and-lock mechanism that leaves both hands free for adjusting the easel. Most models have coarse and fine head raising and lowering. Later vintage models have an additional lever on the head that disengages the friction drive (that all models have) and allows gross height adjustment. Later vintage models also have a removable lens turret and fold-out-crank focusing knob. I have available instruction book copies of most models @ $35 each. I also have a copy of dealer servicing instructions for most models for $35.
How to buy a 5X7 Durst. If you buy from me, you may be sure that I sell you what you need. My goal is to satisfy your needs. I'm in business for the long run. I want repeat customers. If you buy from someone less familiar with Durst or someone who just wants to sell the Durst enlarger that they no longer want, you had best become familiar with Durst enlargers. Do that by buying a copy of the instruction manual and studying this web page. Specific things to look for: (1) The negative carrier is all important. Read my description of negative carriers for things to look for. (2) What formats will you be printing? You'll need recessed lensboards for smaller formats. You may want glassless inserts. These items are difficult to come by. (3) What type of light source do you want? Color heads are rare. You need specific condensers for specific lens focal lengths. I have many of these rare items. Make sure what you want is available before purchase.

I can build another. Note: I have changed the design of this head. I no longer install the color coded lights. Instead, I line even the upper part of the mixing chamber with styrofoam to provide even more light output. I also changed the design of the filter controls. I now use the design like you see on the panoramic head listed below. $2000
6X18.5cm PANORAMIC DICHROIC COLOR HEAD for 6X17cm images produced by the Fuji or the Linhof panoramic cameras or for 6X18.5cm images produced by my custom built GLENNVIEW panoramic cameras.

Voltage stabilizers available separately. 6X18.5cm glassless carrier, 6X17cm glassless carrier, 6X12cm glassless carrier, 190mm long glassless carrier for 35mm film (5 frames), multicoated glass carrier and 1 anti-Newtonring glass, remote exhaust fan with hose, 1/4-20TPI mounts front and rear, for vertical or horizontal use, 1000 units of color filtration provide no more color than another enlarger--just far greater precision and repeatability, produces prints 15" wide by up to 4' long from 120 film and produces prints 7" wide by up to 4' long from 35mm film from the included 150mm F5.6 El Nikkor lens. Will work as a variable contrast head too. By channeling all the light into the panoramic format, this head provides 3 stops more light output than a Durst 5X7 CLS 301 color head. Uses the same bulbs as the Durst CLS 301. These bulbs have built-in reflectors; change the bulbs and you change the reflectors. Head only, Mint, $3500. For shaft to fit this head and the 5X7 Durst chassis, add $250. For head mounted on Polaroid MP3XL 5' tall column mounted on Mahogany 28" deep by 4' wide baseboard, add $350. Also available is a quality steel base cabinet 25" deep, 28" wide, 32" high with several adjustable shelves to which the easel locks via 4 quick release clamps, Ex+, $150. When mounted on this cabinet, the easel is 33.5" above floor and the head is 97.5" above floor when fully raised. The cabinet sits on a removable 4" high stainless steel base. The enlarger on the easel is 65.5" at maximum height. The enlarger only requires 58" of height to the top of the column, with the head at less than full height. For 120mm F5.6 Rodagon-WA lens instead of the 150mm El Nikkor, add $150. This lens will allow you to make a larger print.
5X7/8X10 1500W DURST MURAL PROJECTION LIGHT SOURCE: Macbeth Pulsed Xenon super bright Light Source, power supply with built-in timer, lamp in diffusion housing designed to be mounted in your 5X7/8X10 Durst condenser head in place of ordinary bulb socket (maintaining XYZ adjustment), blower and hose. This is the brightest light source ever made for the Durst. This comes with a used bulb and a new bulb. New bulbs are still available and cost $85. A customer who uses such a unit daily says bulbs last about 5 years. PS is large and heavy and will probably have to be trucked. Price includes S&H to anywhere in the lower 48 US. Ex, $1800
COPY CAMERA MOUNTING ARM: Solid aluminum shaft with formica covered camera plate and reversible 1/4-20 and 3/8-16 camera mounting stud, mounts on 5X7 Durst upper column rail rider in place of head, accepts camera of your choice. The 5X7 Durst chassis makes a great copy camera because you may adjust both the camera height and the copyboard height, plus you have lots of distance between the camera and copyboard. $250
CUSTOM VARIABLE CONTRAST HEAD: with Dichroic filters, built similar to the above mentioned Glennview Dichroic colorhead, but without the precision filtration adjustment capability because it is not needed and because this system is faster to adjust, plus, you get a special high contrast filter (in place of the cyan color filter) in addition to yellow and majenta filters. Includes condenserhead shell. The condenserhead shell is an older one--chosen for its unique properties which allow the use of larger filters. The larger filters provide more light output. This head provides an exposure value (as measured by a Pentax 1 degree digital spotmeter) of 18 2/3 EV. The Durst CLS 301 color head provides 15 2/3 EV. The Ilford 500H variable contrast head provides 14 2/3 EV. So this head is 3 full stops brighter than the CLS 301 and 4 stops brighter than the Ilford 500H. The output is absolutely even due to the variable density diffusion sheet and the lined mixing box. Included is a remotely located exhaust fan and hose with coupling fittings to the blower and the head to keep all cool. The filtered light reflects off the included Durst front surface mirror which sits at 45 degrees in front of the lamphouse. This mirror is part of the reason the output is so bright. $2000
5X7 DURST CONDENSERHEAD, 2 condensers (your choice of any 2 uncoated condensers from my list of condensers), Mint-, $800. If needed, add $200 for 2 new light bulbs, a Durst right angle socket and a heat absorbing glass. See additional information about Durst light bulbs below near the listing for 5X7 Durst condensers.
5X7 DURST CONDENSERHEAD, 130, 200mm, & 240mm condensers, Mint-, $950. If needed, add $200 for 2 new light bulbs, a Durst right angle socket and a heat absorbing glass. See additional information about Durst light bulbs below near the listing for 5X7 Durst condensers.
5X7 DURST CONDENSERHEAD, 130mm, 180mm, 2-240mm condensers, Mint-, $1250. If needed, add $200 for 2 new light bulbs, a Durst right angle socket and a heat absorbing glass. See additional information about Durst light bulbs below near the listing for 5X7 Durst condensers.
5X7 DURST CONDENSERHEAD, 85mm, 130mm, 200mm, 2-240mm condensers in wood case, Mint-, $1650. If needed, add $200 for 2 new light bulbs, a Durst right angle socket and a heat absorbing glass. See additional information about Durst light bulbs below near the listing for 5X7 Durst condensers.
5X7 DURST DIFFUSIONHEAD, a GLENNVIEW product, composed of a variable density diffusion outlet sheet to provide even illumination, condenser drawer cover, styrofoam mixing box and styrofoam reflector to replace mirror, for use with your condenserhead shell, no modification of your condenserhead shell necessary, $250 Note: This has been sold, but another can be built upon demand.
Here is a photo of an original light bulb for Durst condenser heads. It is different than other bulbs. It has a different shape with a short neck and a 109mm diameter. If you have any such bulbs available please sell them to me for redistribution to my customers. Their highest use is as Durst enlarging lamps; any other use would be a waste. You found me by an internet search and so will those using Durst enlargers. The 2nd picture is of the typical protective wrapping for one of these bulbs.
Durst 5X7 and 8X10 condenser enlargers required a special bulb. When I ask for such light bulbs at long established suppliers to the graphic arts industry, I get the reply that those have not been available new for 25 years or more. There are a few out there on the used or surplus market, but they are nearly impossible to find. If found in the hands of someone who knows what he has, they are very expensive. Enlarging bulbs have a short life expectancy. Recently a customer asked me to research and find some replacement bulbs for his 5X7 and 8X10 Durst condenser heads. I am familiar with condenser head theory and I made empirical tests and came up with replacement bulbs that perform equal to original Durst lamps. These lamps are off the shelf lamps. Actually they are off of my shelf of new-old-stock lamps. Similar bulbs are available new, but the newer bulbs are slightly different and may not be altered in the way that I was able to alter my new-old-stock bulbs. I have bulbs available in 150W to 375W. These bulbs perform more like bulbs of twice the wattage in your Durst condenser head. You get your choice of 2 bulbs for $100. Because you will learn about which bulbs you may buy new and how to use them, this will be a final sale. Along with the bulbs, you will get a little bit of information about how to use them or any other condenser bulbs and heads. You will learn why I altered these bulbs and how you may be able to alter similar bulbs. You will learn that you may buy and use unaltered new bulbs, albeit with slightly less quality than my slightly altered bulbs. I also offer a $20 light diffusing filter that will enable you to utilize new bulbs with higher quality light output for your needs. I recommend that you use a heat absorbing filter with these bulbs; I have this heat absorbing filter available for a 5X7 Durst for $150. It is also imperative that you have the right angle Durst light socket. Not all Durst light sockets are right angle sockets. Here is a photo of the right angle socket to the right of an ordinary socket. If you do not have a right angle socket, you will need a right angle adapter, which I can sell you for $35.
5X7 DURST NEGATIVE CARRIERS
Note: Durst Negative carriers in great condition are rare and expensive. I just sold a new-in-box carrier w/glass for $1200. Durst carriers have nice features. There is an adjustable focusing target built into the carrier. They accept glass and glassless inserts. Original Durst glass is rare and expensive. the glassless inserts are just as rare and more expensive. Glass insert retainers are often broken, and next to impossible to repair. Usually tape replaces broken retainers. Durst negative carriers are less common than the enlargers because Durst carriers often were not supplied with the enlargers when new and because they wear faster than the chassis. Carlwen carriers were often supplied with the enlargers instead. I have a few Carlwen carriers, but I haven't yet cataloged them. The NEGA is the negative carrier supplied with the earliest vintage Durst 5X7; it will fit early, mid and later 5X7 Dursts. The NEGA 138 is the carrier supplied with mid and later vintage 5X7 Dursts; it will fit early 5X7 Dursts. The LADANE 70 is an adjustable rollfilm carrier of an earlier vintage that will fit mid and later vintage 5X7 Dursts. Durst GRAHAL and Durst GRANE together are the 5X7 pin-registered carrier for the early, mid and later 5X7 Dursts. The TRINEG is the current 5X7 Durst carrier similar in design to the FEMONEG L1200 carrier. The NEGA MC is for microfilm aperture cards.
TRINEG, current 5X7 Durst negative carrier. Similar to the Durst L1200 carrier. With MIVALO punch compatible registration pins. With built-in masking blades. With plain glass and anti-Newtonring glasses. Glassless inserts available new in any size. Glassless inserts available--see below.
NEGA 138, Durst double glass negative carrier without glasses, accepts glass or glassless inserts (available--see below), all fingernails that hold the glass in place are present and in good condition, boxed, virtually unused, Mint-, $1000.

Negative carrier glassless inserts, black painted steel with alignment pins for NEGA or NEGA 138:
NEGA MC, glassless, for microfilm aperture cards, also with adaptor for mounted slides, shows virtually no use because it is not necessary to remove and replace carrier in order to change microfilm aperture cards, Mint-, $600
5X7 Durst LAREP Copying Cassette, w/o the GG focusing panel or filmholder, could be used as a negative carrier with glass cut-to-size, might even be more convenient to use as negative carrier because no need to remove carrier to insert film, similar to NEGA, but with one end open for insertion of whatever, with springs to hold whatever down against bottom, will fit all 5X7 Dursts, Ex, $300

BASEBOARDS or EASELS for 5X7 DURST
Oftentimes the Durst baseboard or easel with the underneath attached hardware is missing from the enlarger. The easel is often removed with this hardware attached and set aside. The easels oftentimes are deteriorated due to moisture absorption, delamination, etc. If I am lucky I get an easel with each enlarger that comes in. I have sold customers easels and/or the underneath hardware, but when I do so, I am then in the same position you find yourself in--in need of that hard to find equipment. The need is so prevalent that I have come up with alternative solutions to meet my customer's needs. Presently I have one extra easel available. You will see several easels listed below because I am willing to sell you any one of these easels. When that easel is sold, all easels will be removed from this list. One easel below is custom made from scratch. Whatever your needs, I can meet them. Do you have some hardware or easel presently? I can complete it or I can make something from scratch as necessary.
24X32" original Durst easel. Formica over laminated wood. More stable than later Formica over chipboard easels. With a complete set of Durst hardware mounted to the underneath side. This easel allows tilt in any direction for perspective control. $500
22X30X1.75" solid oak butcherblock easel, double rounded edges and triple rounded corners, complete with mounting hardware. With a complete set of Durst hardware mounted to the underneath side. This easel allows tilt in any direction for perspective control. Ex+, $500.
24X40X1.25" extra long Formica covered chipboard easel, slightly off white color, black plastic edging, rounded corners. This easel is presently on a 5X7 Durst I am using as a copy stand. It is illustrated below with the Mole Richardson copy lights and with the Durst RILU copy lights. It is not designed to tilt at a great angle; it will tilt enough for alignment purposes. Mint-, $550. For copy work, I did not need a tilting easel, but I did need an extra wide easel. I made this easel from scratch. I can custom make an easel for your needs.
24X32" Vacuum easel for 5X7 Durst G139, SM183, or most any 8X10 Durst, with Durst film and paper punch to punch holes up to 24" on center. There are numerous posts in the easel for registration pins to fit over. I don't have any of the pins, but they can be purchased or machined. A vacuum pump is not included. This metal easel is the most stable of Durst easels; it will not warp or delaminate. Mint-, $1000
LASDAP & VADAP, adds perspective control tilting easel capability to G139 and SM183, or most any Durst mounted on 8X10 lower chassis, with enlarger purchase, Mint-, $350, Ex+, $300, or $100 extra each purchased separately
The 5X7 Durst was designed as copy stand as well as an enlarger; in fact, it can hardly be beat as a copy stand. The adjustable height baseboard and easily adjustable camera height combined with copy lights that mount on and travel with the baseboard make for a most convenient copy stand. You may use the Durst bellows assembly with copy cassettes or replace the bellows assembly with an arm to hold your camera. The 5X7 Durst is completely alignable even with your own camera mounted on it.
5X7 DURST COMPLETE COPY STAND. 24X40" copy board raises and lowers on the lower column and is alignable. The camera support arm may be moved in or out and turned as necessary to center your camera. The camera support arm may be raised or lowered. You may position the camera to within about a foot of the copy board or as far as 62" from the copy board. The Mole Richardson type 2921 1000W quartz Nooklites are fully adjustable. In this illustration you see the lights evenly illuminating a 24X28" subject. The power cords travel down through the light support arms to make for a neat setup. The foot pedal allows for easier clamping and unclamping of the copy board on the column and the counterbalance spring makes it easier to adjust the height. The counterbalance for the rail rider that the camera is mounted on is adjustable for different weight cameras. You may use this copy stand for an 8X10 camera or a small digital camera. Stable leveling feet support the stand. This copy stand is completely alignable. No camera included. $2700.
DURST LARKA 5X7 COPY SYSTEM: The ultimate copy system. Ground glass back to replace negative carrier. Film cassettes priced separately--see below. Works wonderfully! Project light through the gridded and ruled ground glass onto the copy--illuminating the area to be copied + makes focusing easy. The 5X7 Durst chassis makes a great copy camera because you may adjust both the camera height and the copyboard height, plus you have lots of distance between the camera and copyboard. Mint, $OLD, Ex/Ex+, $350. The mint one is illustrated, but sold. I need to post new images of the Ex/Ex+ one; if you are interested in one, tell me so, and I will make it a priority.
5X7 film cassettes for use with LARKA, Ex/Ex+, 3 available, $100 each with LARKA. See image of 4X5 film cassette--which is a 5X7 film cassette with a 4X5 adapter.
4X5 film cassette for use with LARKA, Ex/Ex+, $OLD with LARKA. Illustrated with a sheet of film in holder.
5X7 Durst LAREP Copying Cassette, w/o the GG focusing panel or filmholder, could be used as a negative carrier with glass cut-to-size, might even be more convenient to use as negative carrier because no need to remove carrier to insert film, similar to NEGA, but with one end open for insertion of whatever, with springs to hold whatever down against bottom, will fit all 5X7 Dursts, Ex, $300
COPY LIGHT SET, set of 2 Mole Richardson type 2921 Molequartz 1K Nooklites, 1000W each, about 3700 degrees Kelvin, with very high quality (adjustable angle and distance) light arm set designed to clamp to baseboard or another flat surface. Power cords go through light arms to keep them out-of-way. The Mole Richardson lights have a slot for insertion of dichroic filters. The Mole Richardson lights may be moved up and down the length of the long arms and the angle of the arms is adjustable. The high wattage, the barndoors and the longer arm length are distinct advantages. These lights will clamp onto most baseboards and are useable with other copy cameras and tabletops. See photos of these lights with the complete Durst copy stand illustrated above. Mint-, $800
DURST RILU copy lights, clamp onto easel, 4 adjustable lights with filter holders, articulated light arms swivel up out of way when not being used, accepts ordinary screw base bulbs, maximum 100W each. Each bulb has its own switch. Each reflector has a provision for accepting a diffuser or scrim or whatever light modifier you care to use. The sockets will accept a maximum 100W bulb. The angle of the arms is adjustable. When not being used, the lights fold up out of the way. These lights will clamp onto most baseboards and are useable with other copy cameras and tabletops. These RILU lights cannot be expected to cover as large an area as well as the Mole Richardson lights above. Mint-, $500.
COPY CAMERA MOUNTING ARM: Thick walled black anodized Aluminum tube with gentle-on-your-camera expanded PVC covered camera plate and reversible 1/4-20 and 3/8-16 camera mounting stud, mounts on 5X7 Durst upper column rail rider in place of head, accepts camera of your choice. The 5X7 Durst chassis makes a great copy camera because you may adjust both the camera height and the copyboard height, plus you have lots of distance between the camera and copyboard. $600. Arm is about 20" long with a 3.75" diameter faceplate. Arm may be at virtually any distance from the column as necessary--so that your camera of choice may be positioned in the center of the copy or wherever you find convenient. The arm may be rotated to allow you to position the film plane parallel to the copy board (left to right). The 3 point support on the bottom of the copy board allows you to align the baseboard parallel to the film (front to back). PERFECTION AND CONVENIENCE IN COPYING!
OTHER 5X7 DURST ACCESSORIES
Durst LOCALO 2 heat absorbing glass in metal frame for 5X7 Durst, hard to find, Mint-, $150
Durst LAFAN 301 blower fan for CLS 300/301 color heads and others, with rubber footed base and end connector for Durst hose, with length of hose, with filtered air supply, Ex+, $300
Blower for Durst condenser heads, with plywood base, hose and hose end connector for Durst condenser head housings, Ex, $150. The 2nd photo shows the blower hose connected to a 5X7 Durst condenser head housing. The tube next to the hose allows the light source power cord to pass through. The hose and the hose fittings at either end appear to be Durst made. The Blower, however, is an American made Dayton blower of very high quality. I have some new Dayton blowers available in case you want a spare. This blower blows air into the dust condenser head for forced air cooling. Without it the Durst condenser head is simply convection cooled--by hot air rising. Convection cooling is fine for 200W or less.
Durst mirror for condenser head in metal frame (from a 5x7 Durst), Mint-, $125
Durst mounting plate--allows you to mount the LAFAN on 5X7 Durst column--hangs from counterbalance, Ex+, $50
LEVELING FEET for 5X7 Durst. Replaces wheels. The wheels are for moving the enlarger to-and-from a wall mounted easel. If you don't use the wheels, they are simply a nuisance. Each foot is height adjustable. You may prevent the enlarger from rocking and rolling and level it too. $100. Highly recommended for anyone who doesn't use the wheels. Last time I made a set of these, I found that the particular leveling feet illustrated are no longer available so what I supply will look a little bit different.
5X7 Durst base lock screw, the screw that goes through the rear leg of the base to contact the floor and helps to stabilize the enlarger, Ex, $25
Wheels for 5X7 Durst, with axles, lock washers and nuts. Used, worn, but no flat spots, Ex, $100
New replacement bellows for 5X7 Durst, will fit all models except the latest models with the removable turret, highest quality Nylon bellows, $250. ON HOLD
New replacement bellows for 5X7 Durst, will only fit the latest model with the removable turret, original Durst replacement bellows, $300
5X7 DURST LENSES, LENSBOARDS
NOTE: Only the rare lensboards in my inventory are listed. I have most of the common lensboards as well.
Durst TRIPLA, the turret for the latest vintage 5X7 and 8X10 Dursts, NEW-IN-BOX, $300 w/enlarger, $450 separately
Custom recessed lensboard for 5X7 Durst and Leica screwmount enlarging lenses. May only be used on late model 5X7 Dursts with the removable turret. Will fit all 8X10s. Replaces turret. 3" (or whatever you specify) depth recess. 3.75" inside diameter recess allows you to access F-stops and change lenses with your hand. Black Anodized AL. It will look similar to the one listed with 8X10 Durst accessories--see photo near top of list. Will manufacture on order. Mint, $350
SEIMAR, 3" recessed lensboard for 50mm Leica screwmount lens on 5X7 Durst, NEW-OLD-STOCK, $175
Durst Lenon N extension F-stop adjustment wand for use with certain lenses (lenses with outside diameter at front end F-stop adjusting ring of 40mm such as 28mm, 50mm, 60mm and 80mm Componons in black plastic barrel with 2 white semicircles; I have 28mm and 80mm lenses in stock) and deep recessed tubes such as SEIMAR, one of 4 set screws missing--doesn't affect function, NEW-OLD-STOCK, $50
DUTUB 1, 1-1.375" variable extension lenstube with helical focusing mount, NEW-OLD-STOCK, boxed, $175
DUTUB 2, 5-7" variable extension tube with helical focusing mount, NEW-OLD-STOCK, boxed, instructions, $225
AUTOTUB, ~3-4" recessed lensboard for use with 28/35/50/60mm lenses, with helical focus mount with about 2" of travel, rear ring is reversible and allows either 3 or 4" recess, rear ring is threaded for Leica screwmount lenses (a different rear ring may be necessary for use with your lens), Mint-, $175
SEPTOLA-39, ~3/4" recessed lensboard for Leica Screwmount lenses, NEW-OLD-STOCK, boxed, $100
Durst lensboard for 210mm Componon, 180mm or 150mm Componon in lensskirt, Ex, $100
210mm F5.6 El Nikkor lensboard, $175 or $250 black anodized. Probably will fit 240mm Rodagon also. I say that because I had a Durst lensboard that was labeled "240 Rodagon" that worked with a 210mm El Nikkor. But I sold that one. I made the one illustrated with a 210mm El Nikkor. It must be very precisely made. The wall thickness at the bottom of the groove is sufficient but minimal--so minimal that I didn't dare thread it all the way through. The clearance between the lens bottom and the lensboard is minimal also. I don't usually make lensboards on speculation. I had to make one in order to sell an enlarger and a GLENNVIEW custom B&W VC head, so I made an extra one to take advantage of the machine setup. As you can see, you may still rotate the turret with this lens mounted upon the turret. There is no vignetting of the image with this lensboard. This lensboard has been sold. I can make another, but I will need to have your lens in order to fit the lensboard to your lens.
210mm F5.6 Durst Componon, coated, on Durst lenscone that fits the turret and allows the turret to turn, serial number inscribed in chrome rim, otherwise very clean, $400
180mm F5.6 El Nikkor, coated, on Durst lensboard, minor marks on barrel, Mint glass, $450. A good reason for buying this 180 El Nikkor is that the lens fits on an ordinary flat Durst lens board; the latest 180mm F5.6 El Nikkor requires an expensive custom lens board. I also have the original flange for this lens available for $50.
Latest 180mm F5.6 El Nikkor lens board, $225 or $300 black anodized. This lens is larger in diameter than the "waist" of the custom made lens board required, so it has to be extra long. A customer recently had me make one for his lens. I illustrate it below before and after being black anodized. Upon receipt, my customer said, "You sure do beautiful work!! I am delighted with the lens board ... super beautiful! I surely will be talking to you about more items for my 5x7 setup." A GLENNVIEW product; Durst does not make a lens board for this lens. Not in stock; will manufacture on demand.
180mm F6.3 Boyer Saphir, coated, tested--good performer, on Durst lensboard, Mint-, $350
180mm F10 Boyer Apo Saphir, coated, tested--good performer, Leica screwmount threads, with filter slot with sliding cover, without flange, Ex, $250. Add $100 for lens mounted on Durst 77mm lensboard. I can probably supply the lens mounted on just about any lensboard you wish.
150mm F5.6 El Nikkor, multicoated, mounted on Durst lensboard, Mint, $450
150mm F5.6 Componon, coated, barrel, mounted on ~77mm diameter for Durst enlargers, Mint-, $250

4X5 AND SMALLER DURST ENLARGERS and accessories
DURST L1200 ENLARGER
DURST L1200 4X5 ENLARGER CHASSIS only, baseboard, 48" tall early model chassis, without head, without negative carrier, without dangling focus control, otherwise complete, Ex+, $1000. Illustrated with below listed head.
DURST L1200 HEADS
CLS 450 DICHROIC COLOR HEAD, with L1200 adaptor, your choice of mixing boxes listed below, Durst TRA 450 power supply, EPOI for Durst ST450 Stabilizer/Timer, dangling controls for yellow and majenta, Mint-, $1000. Illustrated mounted on L1200 chassis.
DURST L1200 MIXING BOXES
FEMOBOX 66N, 6X6cm mixing box, Mint-, $250
FEMOBOX 35N, 35mm mixing box, Ex+, $250
Custom 5X5" mixing box (accepts smaller and cheaper custom mixing box inserts), guaranteed even illumination, guaranteed to work as well as Durst's, no need to change direction of box when you change from horizontal to vertical, $300. The below listed Carlwen negative carrier and the Durst Femoneg negative carriers work with this mixing box. Illustrated mounted on the L1220 above.
Custom 6X12cm mixing box insert--for use with the above custom mixing box, guaranteed even illumination, optimized for the format, $200. This mixing box insert is a GLENNVIEW product. These inserts utilize a variable density diffusion disk and interior mirror mixing boxes that assure even illumination with the maximum available light output. Because these inserts are not complete mixing boxes, but just inserts that fit into the mixing box above, they may be made more cheaply than a whole mixing box. I can make inserts in any size up to 5X5". I can even make them round. So, if you shoot a round negative like that made with the GLENNVIEW Handy with a 38mm Biogon, I can make a custom mixing box for you.
DURST L1200 GLASSLESS INSERTS, NEGATIVE CARRIERS

Replacement hinge pin for Durst Pro head plate. Durst makes quality equipment, but even Durst makes mistakes. The original hinge pin design was faulty. Seldom do I get in a Durst Pro that has the original hinge pin. Usually the original hinge pins are replaced with a simple nut and bolt or whatever. My replacement hinge pin is made of steel and Nylon. Mine has zero play, will not wear out and will not work loose. Mine will keep the head centered and has the precise feel you expect of Durst equipment. $75.
COPY OF "CAMTAULI", Durst Pro adaptor plate, attaches to TAUCOLI, adapts TAUCOLI to Durst Pro or Durst CE1000, may also be used to attach other heads to the Durst Pro or Durst CE1000, Mint-, $100. This is a most useful piece. I had several, but used them. They are required for mounting most Durst heads (other than the condenser head) to the Durst Pro or Durst CE1000, and in fact they allow you to mount most any head by any manufacturer to the Durst Pro or Durst CE1000. You may be able to find one else where for less. Before I used up all of the original Durst CAMTAULI's that I have in stock, I was selling them for less. I am charging for the time and risk involved with making the part.
4X5 CHASSIS only, with baseboard, bellows assembly, negative carrier complete with new plain and anti-Newtonring glasses. An older, higher quality enlarger than is offered today. It has higher quality components, higher quality craftsmanship. For example, today's enlargers have a column that is bolted to a Formica covered chipboard easel; the L1000 column is attached to a cast base that the baseboard is in turn attahed to--ensuring perfect alignment. The L1000 has a precision tapered pin that engages a percision tapered hole in the column to align the head. The L1000 has a swiveling head for projection onto a wall. The L1000 head may be removed and replaced in one of 4 different positions. The column may be reversed on the cast base for projection onto a lower surface or the easel may be removed and the image projected onto a lower surface without reversing the column. The negative carrier for the L1000 is similar to the NEGA 138 with glass, anti-Newtonring glass and glassless inserts available. 42" high column, 58" height required for maximum size enlargement. Priced w/o head, choose your head from those available below, Ex+, 1000

Polaroid MP4 fixed camera head #44-40 with missing parts. What is missing is the metal attachment plate that is designed to mount the fixed head to the MP4 bellows assembly. In place of the MP4 attachment plate is a Durst L1000 atachment plate. Someone had mounted this on their Durst L1000 enlarger/copy camera. There is no ground glass focusing panel or cable release, although these parts are available separately. Ex, $50.

This CLS201 colorhead has been altered to run off of 120V AC current. There is no longer a power supply needed. It now accepts an ELH 300W 120V bulb.

There is a variable density diffusion disk that sits in the recess in the bottom of the head--just above the negative stage. between the negative stage and the head is a custom mirror box.
