down to one, an Omega d5XL with color head.

with all of these Beseler 23C's out there let me if anyone wants to purchase a mint 6x9 universal anti-newton glass holder on the cheap. I sold mine and have no use for this thing!

Down to three. 2 Omega D2's and and Omega E with Arista 5x7 VC Head.

I did have an Omega D760 but after blowing a couple of $30 dollar lamps the head caught fire so I literally threw it in the trash :wub:

Two - A durst Laborator 1200 with Multigraph head for all monochrome and a Kaiser VP6005 with colour head for (you guessed it) colour. My maximum colour neg size is 6x6cm (although I mainly do colour in 35mm). Maximum monochrome will be 5x4 inch when I finally get time to do some serious building work on my darkroom.

A couple of months ago I met a photographer who managed to buy a large old enlarger from some lady, it had to be moved in a truck and when he wants to focus the image, he needs to climb a ladder

Many years ago I met a photograper that made a living out of very large prints.
He had an enlarger that could rise really high (wall mounted, forgot the brand) and had a very interesting gear system so he could focus fairly close to the floor (where the paper was) while the head was some 3m high.

Oh, and I have 1.5 enlargers, both Opemus.

Just one. A durst l184 with a CLS1840 head. I currently print only 4x5 and 8x10. I'm keeping my eyes out for a nice leitz 35mm enlarger.

Three enlargers, eight lenses for two of them. One is a box enlarger that uses mirrors and glass (this one has been in storage for a while). Two Acti cameras that I am in the process of trying to move with the shop closer to downtown, so I know they are pretty big. One is 25' long (horizontal on floor track) and one is 20'. Both are roughly 6' tall. The 25'-er needs 15 feet in width and the 20'-er only needs 10'.

with Schneider 80mm and with Rodenstock 150mm lenses; a 670 for B&W 35mm with Nikon 50mm, and another 670 for B&W contacts, multiple, and solarization.

I just purchased my 3rd one last week on eBay and will be driving to MN this weekend to pick it up.

It is a Beseler 45V-XL with the Beseler Universal 45 Color Head.

My other two are a Beseler 45 MXII with a Zone VI VC Head and a Beseler 45 MXT with a Beseler/Minolta 45A Color Head.

My new darkroom is nearly complete!

My standard is an old Omega 45D-XL. Has provisions for 35mm, medium format and 4x5. This and a ight bulb for azo printing is all I need.

Second (I bought and haven't had a need to set up) is a Beseler 45V-XL with the color head, wall mount unit with bracket, mixing chamber etc. Anyone want a good deal on this? Good condition.
