I use the earlier Zone VI enlarger (based on the Beseler 45MXT chassis) with Zone VI cold light head with Zone VI cold light stabilizer. I have Schneider Componon-S lenses in 80mm, 100 and 135. I print reference prints and prints for magazine reproduction on Ilford multigrade IV RC paper. All display prints are printed on either Ilford Multigrade fiber base or Agfa Classic fiberbase paper. I print for several other photographers who don't have their own darkrooms. I'm in the process of converting a larger space into a new darkroom that will give me room to build a larger sink to use larger trays and add a second enlarger. My tentative plan has been to add the current Zone VI enlarger with VC cold light head and turn my Beseler into a color enlarger for printing Ilfochromes. Mike Gardner
