Largest size print with a Focomat Ic w/50mm lens?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Leica Photography : One Thread

I've been looking at some Focomat 1c books and manuals, and I can't seem to find what is the largest print you can get with the Focomat? I'm guessing a 11x14 or 16x20? Using the normal 50mm Focotar lens.

On the baseboard you are limited to 10X, or a 10X15 inch print using the standard autofocus setup. You can, however raise the unit up the post and make bigger prints, or turn the whole unit around and, with a weight on the baseboard (so the whole thing won't toppe over), project onto the floor and make a print as large as the distance and your trays allow.
