Enlarger Recomendations

[Jim Chinn]

I would stay away from anything that is advertised as having a cold light source. The uncertainty about future bulb availability makes that a bad choice. I would go for something with a dichro head that is in good shape. if that is not available go for an Omega DII or D2. As tkamiya pointed out parts are plentiful and relatively inexpensive.

I've said this before in response to enlarger buying questions. Good deals are plentiful if you just look around for a while. I bought a Beseler 45MCRX, which is an older model, with all of the negative carriers and lenses for less than $200. Despite it's age it looks almost new and works flawlessly.
