I recently purchased a used Omega C700. Omega's web site (an my tape measure) says the drawer uses 3 in. square filters. I'd like to use above-the-lens filters for Ilford Multigrade but the smallest sized Ilford filter I've seen advertised measures 3 1/2 in. Will I have to use below-the-lens filters or are there 3 in. square filters available?

You should have no trouble trimming the filters. Several years ago I used a similar Omega enlarger and, if I remember correctly, trimmed the filters with kitchen shears.
