Response to What enlargers handle 127 film?

from Samuel Tang (samueltang@austarmetro.com.au)
A lot depends on the negative format size used on the 127 film; in much the same way you cannot really say that a certain enlarger can handle 120 negatives.

But then the original format for 127 is nominally 4cmX6.5cm so an enlarger which can handle 6cmX6cm might not get the whole negative area in. In the 1930s half-size "16-on-127" became popular: these 4cmX3cm negatives should be easier to handle but you still need to use either a glass carrier or improvise, unless you use a first-generation Meopta Opemus which came with negative carriers for both 24mmX36mm and 4cmX3cm.
