Must be good for 35mm, optionally 6x7 negs. Color is optional. John, I've been using Saunders LPL 670 VCEE (variable contrast head, up to 6x7cm) for several years now and it is really good and relatively cheap (little under $800 USD new). It doesn't seem to have any alignment problems. With a 50mm lens you can print up to 16"x20" on the baseboard from 35mm negative. For lenses I use Schneider Componon-S' (50 and 80mm). Works great for me. Jiri
