Siri -
There are at least three different standards for colour filters on
enlargers: Kodak, Durst, Meopta, and Leitz. Make that four ;-) To make
matters worse, Durst have two different standards of their own.
There are no easy methods of conversion unfortunately, so if you want to
get similar results from two different enlargers the only way is to
calibrate them individually.
If you want more help with this, e-mail me off list and I'll try and assist
(but I'm on vacation next week)
Cheers
