Beseler 67VC Overview

The Beseler 67VC Printmaker Variable Contrast is a full-featured American made enlarger that can produce excellent enlargements from any size negative 35mm through 6x7cm.

The lightsource utilizes blue and green dichroic filters in an additive filtration system for better exposure of variable contrast papers. This enlarger is at home in any darkroom, but its compact size makes it a particularly good choice for use in a small darkroom, and its ease of assembly and storage are appreciated attributes in a temporary or portable darkroom.

Accepts 35mm, 6 x 4.5cm, 6 x 6cm, and 6 x 7cm negatives and transparencies
Counterbalanced elevation system
This enlarger is supplied with a state-of-the-art interchangeable 67VC-W lightsource with continuously variable dial-in contrast grades -0 to +5 and bright, white light focusing.
Its computer designed exposure control device automatically maintains a constant printing speed throughout the entire contrast range, eliminating the need to recalculate the exposure when changing the contrast.
Permanent, fade-free dichroic filters
Usable with all variable contrast or graded black and white enlarging papers
Diffused lightsource produces evenly illuminated image corner to corner
Its uniquely integrated diffusion chamber eliminates heat related problems at the film stage and it has an internally controlled power source that requires no external power regulation. (No voltage stabilizer required.)
The Printmaker 67VC can produce beautiful enlargements up to 11 x 14" on the baseboard and much larger prints by reversing the column and projecting onto the floor
The focus knob can be attached for left or right hand use. The package also includes a below-the-lens accessory holder and a calibrated column
The Printmaker 67VC sets the standard as "The most V-C enlarger for the least money", and is available in four different colored heads: Black, Green, Red, and Yellow.
One Year Warranty

Beseler 67VC Reviews

Decent enlarger

By Eder
Rated 3 out of 5

The VC head makes this a neat enlarger for split grade printing, but you can tell it’s an entry level setup. It’s not that sturdy of a build. For the types of enlargements I’m interested in, it’s a-ok however. I’m giving 3 stars due to the enlarger either missing or including the wrong part. A couple of tnuts included are one size too small. That’s easily remedied by a quick trip to a hardware store. After first use I then realized that the accessory red safety filter was not included. It’s really poor quality control of Beseler to ship these units out without checking that the right accessories and parts are in the box.

Excellent first-time enlarger, for a small darkroom

I was on the fence about getting either a condenser enlarger or this VC enlarger. I am glad I went with this one. This is my first enlarger, so I don't have anything to compare it too, but I don't feel that there is some glaring image quality issue using a diffusion enlarger. The VC part was expensive, but worth it. I don't have to fiddle around with VC gels, just turn the dial on the front of the head to a number. The dial is continuous, so you can choose 2.5 or 2.75 if you wish. I didn't purchase the accessories new--the prices are prohibitive. With that said, the used market has many fine lenses, lens boards, and negative carriers for this enlarger.

No, it is 120V (you just need an adapter) unless you find it in Europe or Asia where the standard is 240V.
