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