The quality of the enlarging lens that you choose directly affects the quality of your final print, regardless of the technological excellence of your choice of enlarger (or camera for that matter). It really does follow that in our experience you 'get what you pay for' when buying enlarger lenses. So trying to find value for money is very difficult.

However, our budget-enlarging lens has proved to be a big hit with our educational customers.

Sourced directly from the Far East it fits the stringent requirements of today's Photography Tutors with its 75mm focal length and a bright f4.5 aperture.

The Firstcall Enlarging lens has a 4-element construction that will produce crisp medium format enlargements up to 12 x 16 inches in normal conditions and 16 x 20 if fully stopped down.

It has sold well to schools who only have limited requirements in their darkrooms but who want to stretch their darkroom budgets to the limit.

Customer Reviews (5.0 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Charlotte ★★★★★

Swapped out my old glass for this 75mm and the grain focus snapped into place immediately—edges are tack sharp across the whole frame, even at f5.6. The f3.5 aperture makes focusing on a dim easel way less of a squint-fest.

Emily ★★★★★

The crispness and contrast in my 11x14 prints are noticeably better than with my old lens, and the f3.5 aperture makes focusing on the grain magnifier a breeze.

Victoria ★★★★★

Coming from a cheap plastic enlarger lens, the solid metal construction of this 75mm f3.5 feels genuinely reassuring. The glass is perfectly clear with no scratches or haze, and my test prints are noticeably sharper in the corners.
