However, I wonder if an enlarger that can do 120 and 4x5 might be more generally useful. I am thinking of one of the Saunders line, but the cost, of course, is incrementally very high. I have followed the discussion as to developing and printing carefully. Presently I am leaning towards a Jobo for film, and trays for prints. I am curious, however, as to an opinion from those of you who have used the Jobo for prints as well and would ask for comments as you feel indicated. Thanks in advance.
