Can any one recommend a VC head fior this enlarger? I use graded paper with a Zone VI cold light head. I am afraid graded paper may be on its way out. I hope not.

i also use the 45mxt. i also use the zone vi head with compensator and compensating timer. i use the forte fortezzo papers and still find them pretty easily. however, i recently decided to expand my options and bought both a condensor head and a dichro head (both beseler, both used) from ep levine in boston. they have a huge supply of used beseler stuff. it would not surprise me if there were aftermarket heads other than the zone vi for the beseler, but i suggest just sticking with original equipment. levines can help you out and midwest photo exchange also always has a good used selection. all the stuff is guaranteed. p.s. levines also sells/sold the little kit for increasing the gearing on the focus adjustment. this is a worthwhile mod.

Any dichro head will function as a VC head. Zone VI (Calumet) makes a VC head, as does Aristo.
