>>>I am about to buy an enlarger,and am  looking at a V35.  Is it worth
the premium over, say, another brand with a componon, rodagon, etc.?<<<


No. It's a good enlarger, very nice to use and reasonably competent, and
won't let you down, but not worth the price premium.

Durst is the Leica of enlargers. The equation would be:

       M6                           Durst M70 Vario + Lumo
- ----------------       =       ------------------------------
35mm Camera                       35mm Enlarger
