This is so cool, that I just had to tell you guys!
My wife and I were going by a yard sale on Saturday, and someone had a a bunch of darkroom gear out that was the leftovers from a late professional photographer's estate sale. So, we ended up getting an Omega Super Chromega D Dichroic II head on a D5 chassis for $25! I think this is a pretty good deal because...
...it came with all the neg carriers, the Chromegatrol controller, and the lens turret - to which are mounted 3 enlarging lenses. The lenses look like Schneider "made in Germany" with their logo, but are branded "Calumet". Would these be re-branded compnon lenses of some sort?
Another $5 got us some odds and ends like a voltage stabilizer, Omega grain focuser, a reflector and stuff.
So, just wanted to let you all know the deals are still out there and now I have no excuse not to get a 4x5 someday!
Best to all,
Jed
I also hang out on a woodworking forum. By now you would have a dozen mandatory " YOU SUCK " 's.
I had to pay $300 for a plain D5, oh and they threw in 10 unopened boxes of paper
ShowoffAt the time I was shooting 36mm ...
Sounds to me like that wifes a keeper. Good move on grabbing up the enlarger, and the wife.
Wow, and I thought the Durst L1200/CLS501 I just picked up for $300 was a fair deal. YOU SUCK!(Mine came with no lens or lens board, but it did have the glassless 4x5 mask in the carrier, which was something I didn't get with my other L1200.)

Considering how expensive parts are for the L1200, $300 for a second negative carrier and mask is a deal!
I'm the one that (as my brother says) always pays full price for everything!
