jaapv Posted March 19, 2010 Share #1 Posted March 19, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) I just came from a secondhand optical shop to buy an operating microscope, when I noticed a Leica box behind some other stuff. I could take it with me (for free ) and found it is a dia duplicator (I think). There is no way of attaching it to a camera, so how is one supposed to use it?

jc_braconi Posted March 19, 2010 Share #2 Posted March 19, 2010 The ELDIA is a duplicating apparatus you load the body with Panchro film, in an inactinic light, for copy (negative or positive)and on the hinged window you shift the original film when this one is framed you expose with a calibrated light the time is necessary. next you turn the knob to tne next exposure and the original to the frame and so on.

luigi bertolotti Posted March 20, 2010 Share #4 Posted March 20, 2010 Interesting Thank you. For display then, not for use. Unless one has a Dia-archive and hates scanners... ... but is a nice item for the "body" has anyway a certain "Leica feel"... was made for lot of years ('27 to '60 about) and has some variations in engravings: from the box, yours is surely a "recent" item... the oldest had the old style red box like this (from ebay) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
giordano Posted March 20, 2010 Share #5 Posted March 20, 2010 you load the body with Panchro film, in an inactinic light Ordinary or ortho film, surely, if you were copying B&W, at least in the days when ELDIA was a serious tool. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pierovitch Posted March 21, 2010 Share #6 Posted March 21, 2010 I used one for a few years. A Darkroom with red light to handle orthochromatic film with ease. As you were only using black and white negatives panchromatic film was a disadvantage. The enlarger provided a timed light source. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
