Welcome to APUG, it's a great place to learn and share with others.
If you have the enlarger lens board, let me know which one as I have a lens can send you. PM your address and I'll get it out next week. It's nothing fancy but it will get you started. I'm using a Durst M600 as well and it's a fine enlarger to work with.

Jesa:
1) Welcome, from the West Coast of Canada;
2) Eli's gesture is the sort of thing you'll see in APUG, because:
a) there are lots of generous people here, and
b) just about everybody here has more gear than they really need .
And welcome from Norway too - to the best "real photography" forum there is!
Hello Jesa. Welcome from Denmark.
Ole I'm a bit confused here. #The best "real photography" forum...........#
I thought it was the only "real photography" forum There are off course a lot of very good Alternative photography sites like F295, Alternative photography, Large format forum and D****** photography forums etc
Kind regards
Søren

Hi Jesa,
Welcome from New Hampshire. Just FYI - excellent enlarging lenses are going dirt cheap on ebay these days.
Hi Jesa,
I just bought an 80mm f/4 Schienider Componon-S on ebay for $80 - the lens is in excellent condition and is in fact an excellent design. The lens you need depends on both your film format and the enlargement size you intend to make. For example, a 50mm lens is typically recommended for 35mm printing. If you're going to make 8x10 prints this is in fact a good length. However, in my case in addition to making 8x10 prints, I sometimes just want to print a bunch of 4x6 prints for friends and family. What I found was that at that enlargement factor, I found the enlarger lens was inconveniently close to the base, So I bought the 80mm lens to give myself some more room to work. What format to you plan to shoot and print?

Wow, and I thought I was glad to find this forum before! I am just about overwhelmed by all the friendliness and help I have gotten, and only from a simple introduction post.
I really appreciate it all and I hope that soon enough I can be doing the same for others here.
