Durst Laborator 1200 (L 1200)
L 1200 Enlarger
The Laborator 1200 is designed for film sizes up to 4x5 in (10.2x12.7 cm). Enlargements up to a print size of max. 20x30 in (50x70 cm) are possible on the baseboard. The Laborator 1200 basic enlarger consists of a stable column, a large, robust baseboard, the head support and professional film carrier including two carrier glass inserts. Interchangeable illumination systems including a color head, a B/W head with condenser illumination, a B/W head with point light source, and a B/W head for variable contrast material are available.
The enlarger head can be steplessly pivoted up to 90º for wall projection. The lens carrier also pivots to permit full distortion control according to the Scheimpflug principle. Reference scales ensure exact reproducibility.
The focus is set by a handgrip, and for large scales by a pull-out extension arm. Double-sided guide rails on the lens carrier ensure better edge to edge sharpness.
The height is adjusted by a double-purpose handgrip for fast and fine adjustment. A counterweight spring ensures counterbalancing. There are “cm/inch” and magnification scales on the column for precise resetting.
The heavy duty metal film carrier meets professional users’ standards. Designed for film sizes up to 4x5 in (10.2x12.7 cm), the carrier is equipped with registering pins, steplessly adjustable masking strips and interchangeable metal format masks and glass inserts. Femoneg BA30000 - Standard negative carrier. Uses Femomask inserts, 35mm through 4"x5" formats.
FemonegAM BX30000 - "American" negative carrier. Produced to fill requests for a negative carrier and inserts that will show D-max around the image area. Uses FemomaskAM inserts 35mm through 9x12cm formats. 4"x5" negatives use the FemoglaAM AN Anti-Newton Glass insert in the upper position and the FemoglaAM optical glass insert in the lower position.

Key Features
- This enlarger features a sturdy metal-section column, rapid and fine adjustment of the unit head, a counterweight spring to compensate for the weight of the head, a telescoping extension arm for focusing, and a large, stable baseboard.
- Film sizes up to 4x5" are used and enlargements up to 20x30" prints can be exposed on the baseboard.
- Includes an extremely precise, sturdy metal film carrier for sizes up to 4x5" with integrated location pins, steplessly-adjustable masking strips, and exchangeable metal size masks or glasses.
- Unlike some enlargers, the L 1200 has full distortion control based on the Scheimpflug principle, and wall projection thanks to steplessly adjustable swiveling of the head and lens stage.
- The L 1200 250W color head with diffused illumination system and format-matched mixing boxes. Steplessly adjustable color filters have density values from 0-130cc (don't be fooled by the 130, some enlargers listed at 200 actually produce less filtration). Steplessly adjustable density diaphragm with D values from 0-60 which allows you to dim the light source when there is too much light to get a reasonable exposure time.
- The BW head has a 150W opal light source, a deflection mirror and format-matched double condensers, micrometric XY adjustment for lamp centering (if the lamp is off-center you will get uneven illumination through the negative and onto the paper), and a filter drawer.
- The BW Varipoint head has a 100W point light source, coated deflection mirror and format-matched double condensers, micrometric XY adjustment for lamp centering, and a filter drawer. Point light sources boost contrast for low contrast images and are most commonly used for printing from BW negatives from scanning electron microscopes.
- The L 1200 Multigraph is a microprocessor-controlled enlarger head for printing b/w variable contrast papers. It includes a 250W light source and format-matched mixing boxes, integrated Permanent Closed Loop in-light monitoring, motorized color filters having density values from 0-170 and motorized light shutter, plus integrated fan for low heat generation in the lamp housing.
Note: This lamphouse is actually fancier and more feature-laden than the CLS 501 dichroic color lamphouse. It uses a closed-loop system to maintain accurate filtration for the contrast grades, and you can select 50 grade steps in 0.1 grade increments. Plus you can program in 5 contrast tables for different paper characteristics. It also includes an internal shutter mechanism – this is particularly helpful for short exposures since it eliminates any warm-up or after-glow effects of the lamp. The timer includes three burn-in memories which can store different times and contrasts for localized control of the image.
