As I posted earlier on... there is no Cyan anymore in my enlarger head; it's been replaced by the splitgrade-head from Heiland.

I just performed a test on the different appertures, the best opening for my Componon-S is F/11 and F/8 is also good... above or below those values, the results are not satisfying for me.

Thanks... I have ordered a 75Watt bulb and a Heiliopan filter as Robert mentioned above. I will post my experiences with the filter once I get some results!
