Hey everyone, just a quick question, and I hope its okay to post it in here. I recently came across a deal for an entire darkroom setup and wanted to make sure the price was worth it. The whole thing is supposed to be in great condition. (I haven't seen it yet so I can't confirm this) The setup would include the following.
A beseler 45mx with motorized chasis, a Zone VI cold light head, a Zone VI compensating timer, a 16x20 easel, an 11x14 easel, a couple of negative carriers, 3 lenses (i don't remember which since there wasn't one that covered 4x5 and thats what I would need), a 16x20 drymount press, a 16x20 archival washer, and a few other odds and ends that I don't remember at the moment.
The whole thing for $900. Does this seem like a reasonable deal to everyone? I've been in the market for lots of this equipment for a while so I have a pretty good idea of the prices that they go for, I just wanted to double check before I invested that much money into something in case I could get it a bit cheaper somewhere. Thanks in advance.
