The 2700 Diffused VC Light Source was
Omega's first cold light head since the Omegalite was discontinued. While
the Omegalite did not work well with variable contrast paper, the 2700
used a lamp balanced for 2700°K which provided the proper spectrum for VC
papers. Ordinary variable contrast filters such as Polycontrast or
Multigrade were used in the filter drawer provided on the side of the
lamphouse.
As with other heads intended for the C760,
the 2700 could also be fitted to the C700, and with adapter kits, to the
B-66, B-22, and C-67 enlargers.
Used Advice:
The lamps are rated for 10,000 hours, so used units could still have
a lot of life. But if the lamp is missing or non-functional, there could
be a problem as Omega never listed replacements. |
