They had a great darkroom and enough room to get lost in if that is what you wanted. Way back in the corner sat an old Elwood 8x10 enlarger. (on occasion we dug out the 8x10 Deardorf for architectural work) The Elwood had an 8x10 glass carrier and if we wanted to impress the client we would make our 35 mm "contacts" on 11x14 paper. No need for a loupe and it did impress the people looking at the images. Not too long ago I ran into a great deal on an 8x10 enlarger and was really tempted. Common sense prevailed and I didn't buy it but if you ever get the chance make at least one contact sheet with 2x3 inch "contact" 35mm images. It will blow you away. Cheers, David Medley Whidbey Is.
