Every question has an answer

⏺ black and white magnifier and colored head?

I own an enlarger for printing films, and it is equipped with films of 36 and 110 of the type (613 YNA) of Soviet manufacture. I have printed several black and white pictures on it, and I wish to print color pictures. Do I need to buy a colored head or can I use filters, bearing in mind that I do not know if the magnifier I have has a colored head or a black and white head.

To print color images, you must have a complete enlarger equipped with a colored head to produce color images. Because it is not possible to obtain a colored head for the amplifier that you have, and it is a black and white amplifier of course. As for the heads that can be installed on the amplifiers,
Black and white, as they are not available in the Middle East in general, and it must be bought by someone traveling abroad who brings them himself, but after making sure that they can fit on the amplifier you have.

But if you want the names of some amateur amplifiers with a full head, there are (35 - Durst C), which can be used for black and white as well, and there are professional amplifiers from (Durst) as well, which are (670 - M) and (M - 370) ⏹

As for the Nikon FM-2 camera, it is good in all respects. But we refer here to the appearance of some cameras in Lebanon in particular, and they have a defect in the programming of the speed limiter, and this defect appeared in a few cameras, as the agent says.
And he confirms that there is a new batch and monitoring that will come down to the market.
But it can be said in general that this camera is good and has a shutter speed of 1/4000, and it is good for those who are good at using cameras away from electronic preference. If you prefer a dual system camera, there is a lot of Nikon.
Examples (2 - FE) and it operates at normal speed and at automatic speed through the (A) site or Nikon FA or Fe. Electronic programmable flash (11 - Nikon SB) is the pinnacle of Nikon in the field of flashes, large in size with a moving head and electronic sensor powered by eight batteries of small size.

In this case, we advise you to adopt (Contax RTS) or (137-MD) or (139) quartz, and the matter of selection and determination remains up to you⏹
