I have an experience with household bulb enlarger (6x9 medium format + 35mm
Polish Krokus 3) which has a three element condenser. I had to put ground 
glass on condenser because point light source accentuated exceedingly any 
dust particles it could find :)
Please note I am using a partially D.I.Y. equipment with a lot of duct tape
holding it together :)
