Well, that may be, but every dealer I have talked to has referred to them as Saunders and on the Saunders site they are listed as Saunders/LPL. I just think he had never heard of them. Up till 2 months ago I had never heard of them either. It was not the naming of the enlarger I was referring to, it was the attitude I was getting from the sales person. Saunders does not make the enlarger, I know this, they import it from England. BUT they sell it with their name on it. Just because the sales person had never herd of it did not give him an excuse to treat me like an idiot. As my dad used to say "I may be dumb, but I ain't stupid." :) BTW the saunders looks like a very nice enlarger...I think I may get one with the VCCE (Variable contrast constant exposure) head when I redo my dark room later this year. The best lab in town for color printing, and digital work, says they are the best work horse standard enlargers they have used, excluding ZBE, but I can't afford the ZBE. The ZBE is in a league to itself. Best regards, Harrison McClary http://people.delphi.com/hmphoto preview my book: http://www.volmania.com
