Not familiar with the CB7 - my enlarger is a Beseler 45, which takes 6x6 filters, so no problem there. One suggestion might be to use under-the-lens filters....

My old x-700 takes superb pictures. The problem is that I have to "reset" the electronics by hand. I.e. turning the camera off and on in order to make the...

Has anyone ever used Gatorfoam? I haven't used it before and it seems pretty pricey compared to foamcore for mounting my prints. [Non-text portions of this...

Yes, I use Gator Foam or Gator Board as it often is called. I use it on prints of size 11"x17" or 13"x19" that I want to wall display. The thickness I use is...
