First use of an enlarger in 13 years

[cerber0s]

I got it out of storage a couple of weeks ago and today I got the chemicals I ordered. I still have a few boxes of paper that is also around 13 years old but it worked fine. I did a couple of prints and this one I did in three different versions where this is the least contrasty. I'm pretty happy all things considered except with the dust specks.

The photo was shot with a 1938 Rolleiflex and Fomapan 100, developed for 5 minutes in kodak Tmax. The paper is Kentmere VC Select, developed in Adox Neutol NE.

The edges look off because the print was too large for the scanner.

What kind of enlarger?

What kind of enlarger?

Nothing fancy, a "Krokus 4 color N". It seems to do the job reasonably well though.

I noticed today thatvthere's some fungus in the lens so I might try to find a replacement eventually. It might be cheaper to just find a used enlarger with a good though...
