Intended as a basic entry-level 35mm
enlarger, the A3 was very unique design nonetheless. Its reflex type
condenser lamphouse bore more resemblance to a Durst enlarger than
other Omega designs.
It was limited to just two formats -
35mm and 126, and most accessories were unique to the A3. It was sold
with only the short column and no colourhead was ever available.
Used Advice: Because the
components of the A-3 were unique to this model, it should be closely
examined to ensure that all parts are present as it may be extremely
difficult to obtain replacements. |
