4x5 enlargers still in production ?

[Martin Aislabie]

But they are refurbished models, right? Nothing wrong with that, just to be clear.

Most of Odyssey sell are refurbished models - after all the basic machines are built like tractors - you will never wear them out

But - if you really insist, they will make brand new ones for you

Humm... That C120 from kienzle looks like quite something! Anyone has a direct experience with it ?

Fujimoto, now part of Kenko, still makes Lucky enlargers. QE45 is the same as 450M-C which I recently bought for a ridiculous price and it's good to know that parts are still being made. Hope this link works:

Perhaps a German APUG member might have had some direct experience with one.

Not in reference to yourself, but on another point, I've aquired my darkroom equipment mostly second hand but some new as well. It seems rather shortsided to deny that there may be good reasons for purchasing new equipment; afterall promoting a healthy market in darkroom equipment is a worthwhile activity and insures continued availability of both major items and accessories / parts.

Not the C120 but believe me: Kienzle and Dunco are making the best enlargers in Europe.
And for special wishes: Custom made but of course these nice features have its price.
