Camera kit KAISER 4436 — compact black kit, dimensions 100 x 72.5 x 0 mm

KAISER 4436 is a compact black camera kit designed as an accessory set for darkroom enlargement work. The kit contains format masks and pairs of masks sized to fit 6 x 7 cm negatives and is intended for insertion into the 4583 compound negative carrier of SYSTEM‑V enlargers and into the 4493 compound negative carrier. With overall mask dimensions of approximately 100 x 72.5 mm (3.9 x 2.9 in.), this small-format kit is suitable where space is limited or when a lightweight replacement set is required.

Advantages

The kit provides precise format masking for 6 x 7 cm negatives and is manufactured in a compact, black finish that reduces stray light and reflections during enlargement. Its dimensions and paired-mask configuration simplify alignment in compatible compound negative carriers, allowing consistent framing and exposure during printing.

Suitable for

• Insertion into 4583 compound negative carrier of SYSTEM‑V enlargers
• Insertion into 4493 compound negative carrier
• Masking and framing 6 x 7 cm film negatives
• Small-format darkroom enlarging where compact accessories are required

Key specifications

• Color: black
• Format masks: 6 x 7 cm
• Mask dimensions: approx. 100 x 72.5 mm (3.9 x 2.9 in.)

How to use

Install the appropriate mask pair into the compatible compound negative carrier (4583 for SYSTEM‑V or 4493) before mounting the negative. Ensure the mask sits flush and that the negative is flat against the carrier to avoid light leaks or uneven focus. Align the image using the enlarger’s projection and make test exposures as needed to determine optimal framing and exposure time.

Usage recommendations

Handle masks by the edges to avoid fingerprints on the mask openings. Store the kit in a dry, dust‑free place and check compatibility with your enlarger carrier prior to use to ensure correct fit and optimal results.
