Subject: [Leica] enlarger question
From: RGKEG@aol.com
Date: Fri, 17 Mar 2000 14:39:35 EST

I am about to buy an enlarger,and am  looking at a V35.  Is it worth the 
premium over, say, another brand with a componon, rodagon, etc.?

I primarily print black and white, but want the color option.  Larger formats 
are not required.

I am not looking to spend money for the Leitz name, but I want a quality 
enlarger.

The price spread is rather large over some of the alternatives, and as it has 
been a while since I have printed, I am not up on the current state of the 
art.  Any advice would be appreciated.
 I have had nothing but positive comments on the V35, but am unaware of 
quality alternatives.
