The Omega-Sphere lamphouse was a variation
of the original Chromega lamphouse - in actual fact, it was just the
Chromega lamphouse without the filter unit. As such, it was a diffusion
lamphouse for black and white printing. Sold concurrently with the
Omegalite, it would have had the advantage that it could be used with
variable contrast paper if provision for a filter drawer had been
included.
There were two models available, one for D
series 4"x5" enlargers and the other for the B series. The colour filter
units were available separately if the user wished to upgrade the
Omega-Sphere to Chromega specification. Most buyers opted to go with the
Chromega head, and the Omega-Spheres were soon discontinued.
Used Advice: They are relatively
rare, but units that are still complete and in good condition should still
be usable for black and white printing. |
