About Beseler 23CIII-XL Photographic Black & White Condenser Enlarger, 120 Volt.

What sets the Beseler 23CIII-XL Photographic Black and White Condenser Enlarger apart is its rich history and proven reliability. With over half a million units sold since its debut in 1955, this American-made medium format enlarger has become a cherished tool among photography enthusiasts and professionals alike.

This sturdy and durable enlarger has become an essential tool for those who appreciate the art of creating their own images and want full control over the process.

Equipped with a high-performance Condenser Lightsource, the 23CIII-XL employs Beseler's patented "Cone-of Light" variable condenser system. This innovative feature allows you to adjust the position of the oversized 5-1/2" optical glass condensers to optimize illumination for every format, from 35mm to 6x9cm. The result Exceptionally short exposure times, a cooler film stage, and less negative buckling than with conventional condenser heads.

One of the standout features of the 23CIII-XL is its interchangeable lightsources. The Condenser lamphouse that comes with this model can be swapped with the Dichro Colorhead (8132-02) or the Variable Contrast Lightsource (8134-02), providing you with more flexibility and control over your photographic enlargements.

The 23CIII-XL's extraordinary rigidity is due to its extra-long twin-girder construction, which helps minimize transient vibrations that can affect image sharpness. The lens stage can be tilted for special effects or distortion correction, and the projection assembly can be tilted up to 90 degrees. To ensure optimal performance, each 23CIII-XL is meticulously aligned by skilled technicians using the latest laser technology.

In summary, if you're looking for a high-quality, professional, and reliable black and white condenser enlarger, the Beseler 23CIII-XL is a versatile and dependable choice that can handle a wide range of photography needs with ease.
