Convert any classic De Vere 504 Enlarger to use modern LED technology. The Intrepid De Vere 504 head utilises the same technology as the Intrepid Compact and 4x5 Enlargers. The light source matches the results of the traditional 504 head, but as it uses LEDs, it is entirely silent to run, doesn't need stabilisation and uses a lot less energy.
This new product was born directly out of the need to replace the light sources in three of the 504 enlargers in the Intrepid Studios darkroom. With it, you can also give your old enlarger a new lease of life.
The LED lights are perfectly calibrated for printing, and everything is controlled by the timer/control unit. It has built-in CMY colour balance controls and contrast filters for black and white, so you don't need external filters. There is also a built-in safelight for black & white printing.
In the latest generation of hardware, we have introduced more manual controls for the user. It can save time settings in black/white mode and adjust the light's output strength. There is also a wider range for the colour balance controls allowing for more experimentation.
As the times, colour balance and black/white contrast controls are all programmed digitally via the timer, you can guarantee they will always be accurate.
Switching heads only takes around 5 minutes.
