Hello,
I've been on the lookout for an enlarger and I've found an LPL C7700 available locally for about $250.
I don't know much about enlargers apart from a course I did about 10 years ago, but I shoot 35mm, 35mm panoramic, medium format 6x6, 6x7 and some large format. I understand the enlarger can take 35mm and medium format - would I need to buy or make masks for non-standard formats? I'm assuming that I'd need a different enlarger for large format.
Does AU$250 sound reasonable? it comes with a couple of Rodenstock lenses, a timer, focus scope and a set of multigrade filters. Is there anything I need to look out for other than fungus on the lenses and a good even light source?
I'd be grateful for any input.
Best wishes,
Kevin
