100.00 kit.. did I get a good deal?

[photomem]

So, I bought a darkroom kit yesterday. It included the following for 100.00

• Omega C700 Enlarger
• Gra Lab Timer
• Timer of indeterminate Origin
• Bogen printing easel
• 4 Packs of D-76
• 2 Packs of Fixer
• Bottle of Photo Flo
• 50mm lens (Omega)
• Various Bits and Pieces of things..

So, does this seem like a good deal?

I think so. Do you have a good 50mm enlarger lens? You should be able to get a six element f/2.8 lens for a reasonable price, perhaps another $100.00

Well, I shoot 645 mostly, but I do happen to have a 80mm Rodenstock f2.8 lens I bought for school. Unscrewed it from the lens board and it screwed right into the enlarger. Made my day.

I think you got a great deal. I don't know which model of Gralab timer you got, but they start at $140 new at B&H.

GraLab tops your investment alone. Sweet.

Good deal and those Omega lenses are just fine.

You did good. The Gralab and the easel easily justify your cost. The enlarger is gravy.
