The Omega F had been offered with condenser head or non-dichroic Chromega lamphouse, but when the Super Chromega F Dichroic head was introduced, the condenser lamphouse was discontinued as well. The chassis itself remained the same, but the carriage was updated with new negative carrier and lamphouse lifting levers, and the Attachment for Small Negatives was discontinued. The Chromega F should be considered for formats down to 6x9cm only, as it is not designed to easily accept lenses shorter than 100mm.

Standard chassis features still include built-in negative masking down to 4x5, heavy duty castered floor stand with quad aluminum girders, and 3 position 24"x32" baseboard. The dichroic lamphouse features quad lamp1000W quartz-halogen illumination, wall mounted cooling blower, and thermo safety cutoff. Instead of interchangeable light mixing boxes, which would be cumbersome in this size, the lamphouse uses a simpler series of Light Intensification Masks to increase light output for 5x7, 4x5, and 6x9cm formats.

Used Advice:  Fully serviceable and good deals on used units are available, but because of its weight, be prepared for significant shipping costs.  Missing accessories can be pricey, so check that the unit is complete.
