Sturday, no voodoo alignment, simple lever to change mixing boxes, standard 39mm boards and 25mm boards still available. It's a lot like the current Modular 70. Tilt, shift, schleimpflug (ok, so I butchered that), wall projection. Get the glass carrier. It's a lot of fun. They only run about 400 used. I just got into using a Durst 609 (6.5x9 and 35mm). Lots of power, but much more primitive. Just as solid. Andrew Moore wrote: > I am considering buying a medium format enlarger (for the time being I'd > rather go this route than digital).
