If you are going to make a lot of dupes, it is certainly worth having one of these. It is for 35mm dupes. To make 4x5 dupes I use my Omega D5XL enlarger. For all dupes I use the slide duplicating films made by Kodak and Fuji. Kodak has one especially for dupes of Kodachromes. I'm sure this would be good film to use with the 100 and Elpro, but if you are going to make many dupes, I'd get a duplicator.
