An arrangement of a color enlarger head is disclosed that allows an original picture negative to be irradiated for print-out with an even quantity of light without the need for adjusting a quantity of light transmitted through a diffuse transmission plate disposed on an exit side of a diffusion box. Them is provided below the diffusion box a light distribution adjusting box in which the light rays transmitted through the diffuse transmission plate are appropriately reflected so as to increase the quantity of light entering a peripheral zone of the original picture negative and thereby to equalize the light rays available to print out the original picture negative. Specifically, below The diffuse transmission plate 60 there is provided a light distribution adjusting box 62 defined by a frame 62a and a bottom 62b provided at a central zone with an opening serving as a projecting window 62c. The light rays having entered light distribution adjusting box 62 through a peripheral zone of diffuse transmission plate 60 are reflected not only by the inner surface but also by a lower surface of diffuse transmission plate 60 so that the light rays reflected by the lower surface of diffuse transmission plate 60 at a zone extending around its central zone enter the peripheral zone of original picture negative 66 and then an enlarged lens 42 while the light rays reflected by the lower surface of the diffuse transmission plate at its central zone enter the original picture negative but do not enter enlarging lens 42.

Head for a color enlarger

A shutter for an objective lens particularly for a photoprinter or the like in which the objective lens must be frequently opened and shut. The shutter includes an arm swingably driven by an actuater and provided at a forward end with a pair of shutter blades. The objective lens is placed in a range over which the pair of shutter blades swing as the arm swings so that the objective lens may be received in a gap defined between this pair of shutter blades and the objective lens may be opened or shut as the arm swings.

Shutter device

A negative film carrier for driving a negative film in a longitudinal direction of the negative film to convey the film to a printing position, is provided with a bar code reading mechanism. In the mechanism a light emitting element on one for illuminating the bar code is disposed to face one side surface of the film, and a light receiving element is disposed to face the other side surface thereof. These elements are mutually separated when the film is inserted between them in the widthwise direction of the film at the printing position. At the time of film transporting condition these elements are linked together to unitedly move and follow the edge of the film so as to accurately coincide with the bar code.
