I have seen maybe a dozen 5x4 enlargers this week, good ones, Dursts and De Veres with colour heads and lenses, all thrown to the mercy of a public tender here in the UK, my guess is that if they get ?25 - ?50 each they'll be doing well. The opportunity to move into 5x4 has never been cheaper but I think the mood of society is that they feel its too much effort in this modern, faster, digital world. You seemed to have proved them wrong - well done. regards, Jem ----- Original Message ----- From: "Slobodan Dimitrov" <s.dimitrov@charter.net> To: <lug@leica-users.org> Sent: Sunday, August 15, 2004 11:02 PM Subject: [Leica] Inkjet printng > A little episode for the not faint of heart. > > I'm included in an exhibit at the Banning landing Community Center.
