The Chromega B
Dichroic lamphouse was the first Omega colorhead firmly aimed at the home
darkroom market. The introduction of color processing tubes and small
packages of color chemistry and paper made home color print processing far
more practical, and there was now a demand for the same type of color
lamphouse that professional labs had been using.
The Chromega B
Dichroic covers formats up to 2¼"x2¼" and was initially fitted to the
B-22, then the B-66 and B600 enlargers. Features included a 75W
quartz-halogen lamp, 0-170 filtration, and external power supply.
Used Advice:
The Chromega B Dichroic is quite suitable for standard column length
enlargers, but we'd prefer one of the later C700 or C760 colorheads for XL
models. Since the Chromega B requires an external power supply, check
that the power supply is included and is in good working order. Also check
that the correct lamp is installed, as non-standard lamps may damage the
power supply. |
