Description:

The American made Beseler 23CIII-XL Enlarger is one of the world's
most popular medium format enlargers. Well over half a million have
been purchased since it first became available in 1955. Many have
been in near continuous use by schools, government agencies and
businesses, and countless others have been handed down from father to
son, to granddaughter, like the well-loved family possession that it has
become.

The Variable Contrast Lightsource that is supplied with this enlarger
features simple, one knob adjustment for continuously variable contrast
of -0 to +5. This versatile Lightsource also permits the user to store and
to retrieve the contrast characteristics of up to three different brands of
V-C paper in individually selectable channels. The Lightsource is
interchangeable with the Dichro 23 Colorhead (No.8132-02) and with
Condenser lamphouse (8130).

The extraordinarily rigid, extra-long twin-girder construction of the
23Clll-XL helps to reduce transient vibrations, which can detract from
image sharpness.
