What they've done for printing leaves me in awe. I'm in their corner for the
most part. Except on the R1D1. Which I'd not turn down on a cold night.

But did Omega and Durst and Beseler try to come out with cameras?

Well that's a different story as an enlarger is a camera of sorts.
A process camera; all in one room.
Some did good copy work as a copy camera with a little fiddling. Dursts.

You've just got to shoot the light through the other direction of the lens
that's all! Those enlarger lenses do that! And have the film that's in there
be not exposed.
The paper on the easel exposes the neg not the other way around.
