CropDusterMan Posted February 26, 2015 Share #1 Posted February 26, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello all, First off, thanks in advance to anyone who may be of help. I am a long time user of Leica's-M4-P's primarily, and yesterday, became the proud owner of a beautiful Leica Focomat V35 Autofocus enlarger. It is incredible. Well, it came with the special Leica Focometer 2 timer system...and I am a little baffled as to the units operation...in particular, the hooking up of the two special cords in the rear...? The unit does power up, but the enlarger will not come on via the Focometer 2, only when using another timer system...the Focometer does power up too. This unit is in mint condition, so I'm sure it's user error-unfortunately, I have no instructions for the timer system. Any help out there? Thanks again, Jason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moritz Posted February 26, 2015 Share #3 Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) Hi Jason, welcome to the Leica Forum! I do have and use a Leica Focomat V35 too. If you call Leica, they still should have a manual in english for you. One thing every V35 user has to look at is the splitgrade system from heiland electronic: Heiland electronic GmbH, Wetzlar / Germany It automates the printing process though not being cheap. The Schneider Apo-Componon 2,8/40mm lens is far better than the original Leitz Focotar WA 40mm lens. Rare and also rather expensive. Kienzle Fototechnik in Germany sells an improved lightning box for the Leica V35: http://www.kienzle-phototechnik.de/home_english/home_english.html Best Regards from Germany, Moritz Edited February 26, 2015 by Moritz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeswe Posted February 28, 2015 Share #4 Posted February 28, 2015 Welcome to the forum and please do ask the mods to move this thread to the "Darkroom" sub forum, where you will have better visibility from people who are into Focomats etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
