Perhaps Eric's >results were due to similar causes. Nope, these were big heavy duty 4x5 enlargers that were in new-like condition. Maybe the condensers weren't optimized for 35mm lenses, but I thought I got good stuff. Even using Leica Focomat IC enlargers in journalism school I thought I was getting good stuff. But then I owned my own V35 and found out just how good it was. It's amazing. ============= Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.
