Enlarger Help

[reverend jay]

Hey folks
I am in the market for an enlarger again and need some help. 15 years ago I used to use an Omega c700 to print 35mm but I know longer have the enlarger. I am now looking for something that would be perfect and inexpensive to print mainly 6X6. Can you make any suggestions for me
thanks

What about a Durst M605?

Enlargers, especially 6x6 sizes are dirt cheap. Do a little research, see what's available locally, and if you pay more than $50 (in the US) you've done it wrong.

Thanks for the input.
I am currently looking at a Beseler 23c and an omega b22 on ebay so we'll see what happens. There is also an Omega B600 that may go for cheap. Does anyone have any experience with that particular model?

Make sure so check out craig's list for cities near you.

IIRC, the B600 is a 6x6 condensor version on the same chassis as the C700 (6x7), but does not have the color head; although the color head can be added as a retro. I used a c600 for many years with complete success and satisfaction.
