Alex,
Yep, the turret will not turn with the sunken lensboard mounted -
some lenses also cause this rather unattractive feature. Given that
the enlarger is really intended for large format we can't be too
critical.
The Durst 138S is a very well designed piece of kit and a delight to
use. It's worth putting up with a little inconvenience to use it for
all formats.
I still have the job of turning the manual into a pdf file sitting in
my task list. Will prioritise that job and try to make some time......
Cheers,
Clive
