Unfortunately my enlarger will only go up to 6x7, so I have been looking at the Saunders 4500 series with a variable contrast head. New they are cheaper than the average Leica lens, but they aren't exactly giving them away either and I figured with many pros going digital there should be some high-end units floating around out there. feli On Mon, 2004-01-26 at 21:10, Dante Stella wrote: > Ebay is a real crapshoot for enlargers in general, because after you > pay $100 to ship a huge object (it doesn't really cost that much if > your seller knows what he is doing - i.e., never) you generally find > that it is rusted, needs a $40 bulb (if you can find it, or antinewton > glass that no one has stocked for a while. > > A good enlarger will cost $300 and up used if you want to save yourself > massive frustration. > > And I would skip anything but a Durst or a Leica.
