An uncommon Czech enlarger made in mid-1950s. The glasses in my copy are crystal clear with pretty strong reflection under my table lamp.

Wide open seems a bit soft in my camera. One stop down it becomes pretty acceptable. Contrast is lower than other coated enlargers I tried in the same age. There is small glow exist even the lens is stopped down to F8. I think this is caused by the reflections between the glasses. The shiny aperture blades may be also a cause of the glow. For color and bokeh, please refer to the photos below.

Here are some samples taken in a hazy day. All my photos posted in this section are processed with the same way with minimal among of processing.

So you used a rear mounted iris? May be confusing for others if you talk about a projection lens and then stopped down...

Not bad the results, look a bit (too) bright on my monitor tho.

Thanks, Klaus. I have mentioned this is an enlarger in the first sentence.

P.S. I adjust the brightness of few photos.
