Omega D2
4"x5" Enlarger

Introduced: 1955
Discontinued: 1979

D2/C-XL Condenser Enlarger

Although based on the older Omega DII and sharing a number of parts with it, the D2 enlarger had quite a few improvements that distinguish it from its predecessor. There was a new casting for the base, and longer, heavier chassis rails. The counter balance springs were mounted at the top of the column instead of on the carriage. But the most significant differences were the rack and pinion elevation mechanism that replaced the "lift and lock" system on the DII, and the availability of an XL length chassis.

Through its long production run, there were a variety of different heads fitted to the D2, and several variants on the basic model.

Although it was effectively discontinued in 1975 when the D5 was introduced, there was one last production run in 1977. It remains popular on the used equipment market since it was solidly built and most of the major parts for it are still available.

Used Advice: The chassis system of the D2 is very robust and fully serviceable, but check for signs of heavy usage which might indicate some parts will need replacement. Examine condenser lamphouses to ensure that all components are present and in good condition.
