Omega A-2
35mm Enlarger

Introduced: 1955
Discontinued:1962

Omega A-2 Portable

 

The A2 was Omega's first post war 35mm enlarger, and, in fact, the first since the original Model A of 1938.  Purportedly the civilian version of a model built for the military, it enjoyed a substantial production run into the early 1960s.

Two versions were sold - the Professional, with a column length permitting magnifications up to about 12"x18", and the Portable, with a shorter column providing a maximum magnification of up to 9"x13½".

Used Advice: The A-2 used few parts in common with other Omega models so it's particularly important to ensure that the enlarger is complete, as parts will be hard to find.
