Since then I have found a well used, but in good condition Focomat Ic for sale. The only difference is that this one has an Ilford head on it, which uses two halogen globes instead of the standard enlarging globe. With the Ilford head setup, it appears that this replaces the need for filters in the filter draw, as apparently the halogen setup, (coltrolled by a electronic box) adjusts the head to provide the appropriate level of filtering - using an internal filter I think. The control box then lets you choose your filter level 0 - 5 with the push of a button, and has a timer, probe attached to it as well. I haven't seen this setup before and I am unfamiliar with it. The lens included is the standard 50mm focotar, in good condition. Can anyone comment on this setup, is it any good? Also, any indications on what I should offer as a fair price for such a setup. Any guidance would be appreciated and I am keen to get into a darkroom again and I am hoping this setup may be a good start?
