Years ago I stopped using them when enlargers started coming equipped with filter drawers and dichro heads. Last year I picked up a new Koday Polymax filter kit on sale at Gassers. It is so much easier to use than the drawers and dichro.I use it on my Beseler 45 with the dichro head turned to zeros. It also fits four other ancient enlargers I have. Plus, exposure times are (more or less) consistent. Even the !@#$%! loosey goosie Beseler 45 doesn't shift focus when I change a filter. Try tuning the dichro and see where it goes. Of course the Valoy stays focused when hit with a ball peen hammer.. Some old tech is good tech. Bill Lawlor
