Beseler 45MXT Enlarger Chassis &
Baseboard
The current
45MXT is the
latest in a
series of
45M
enlargers
that Beseler
has been
manufacturing
and
continuously
improving
for more
than half a
century. The
triangular
truss
reinforced,
twin-girder
frame
provides a
rock-steady
foundation
for this
classic
enlarging
system,
enabling it
to produce
tack-sharp
prints from
35mm film
larger than
16" x 20" (±
17½" x 22")
on the
baseboard,
enlargements
up to 25½" x
38½" on an
Adjustable
and even
larger
images via
wall
projection.
A neoprene
light seal
in the upper
negative
stage
virtually
eliminates
stray light
leakage in
the
darkroom.
· From the
onset, the
45MXT has
always been
a modular
system, so
virtually
every
component
and
accessory
that fits
the current
enlarger
will also
fit every
45M enlarger
manufactured
since 1953.
Thus the
long term
retained
value of
every
Beseler 45M
enlarger is
enhanced by
its
non-obsolescence
design. The
45MXT
chassis can
be
configured
in a variety
of different
modes. It
accommodates
the
high-output
Condenser
Light Source
(#8121), the
versatile
45S Dual-Dichro
Colorhead
(#8278) and
the 8"x10"
Coldlight
Conversion
Kit (#8350).
· The high
performance
45M
Condenser
Lightsource
utilizes
Beseler's
patented
"Cone-of
Light"
variable
condenser
system to
adjust the
position of
the
over-sized
6½" optical
glass
condensers
to maximize
the
illumination
for every
size film
from 35mm
through 4" x
5", yielding
exceptionally
short
exposure
times, a
cooler film
stage and
less
negative
buckling
than with
conventional
condenser
heads.
· The 45S is
a unique
Colorhead.
It can
function in
traditional
diffusion
mode
for color or
variable-contrast
B&W printing
and, with
optional
accessories,
it can
produce
spectacular
looking,
higher
contrast
images in
its unique
dichroic
Condenser
mode. In
either mode
is has
permanent,
non-fading
continuously
variable
dial-in
dichroic
filters with
a Y-M-C
range of
0-200.
· The 8" x
10"
Coldlight
Conversion
Kit (#8350)
has a
maximum film
format
capacity of
8" x 10". It
includes
glass and
glassless 8"
x 10" film
holders. It
also
accommodates
over a dozen
other
Beseler film
carriers
35mm and
larger.
· The
heavy-duty
laminated
baseboard
(8232) is
used with
the 45MXT
chassis
(#8227) and
also with
the Adjustable
(#8540). A
Wall/Table
Mount
(8239), a
Wall
Projection
Bracket
(8128), a
three-lens
turret
(8225) and a
flexible 21"
cable for
remote
focusing
(10-50519-22)
are also
available. |
