Also, if you're lucky you can get a negative carrier for the V35 that has an oversize aperture allowing you to print all of the negative with a black border on the print, which is what you wanted. I'm not sure of the part number but the Leitz box mine came in has 17011 written in several places. Perhaps someone can confirm this for Alan. Pictures made with a 21mm lens have a very narrow border though, 24mm and above are OK. The top plate has anti Newton ring glass and the bottom plate has a much finer etched anti ring glass. The V35 is a fine, easy to use enlarger if you only need 35mm. You can get color and multigrade variable contrast dichroic filter modules for it. Best regards, Bob Parsons.
