The Halogen 75 watt bulb into a diffuser chamber just can't blast thru some of the denser shadows of a slide to enlarge on Cibachrome. I really dislike two minute and longer exposure times! >Gary Todoroff My comment : there are 2 models of the light mix chamber. The first (1978-c.1987)has only one condenser ; the second (c.1987- 1992)has 2 condensers. It is easy to check.The second version is better of course : the strong vignetting of the 1st has disappeared. Check the lamp : you must use a Philips 13139. Neither a Philips 6853 nor an Osram 64615. With these "erzatz" lamps, the intensity of light drops. Dominique
