Have a great respect for De Vere and cast parts of it's enlargers are probably better, but it's not exactly around. The last model I laid my eyes on was from 80th. Don't want to deal with old filters for example.

Plus the only enlarger that I own and am almost certain was built by Kinzle has Leitz written all over it., a Focumat IIa. They also made the IIc. If I was younger and had the money, I would have an enlarger with Kinzle written on it........Regards!

The doesn't produce and refurbished is the word you can stretch. Though mechanics can be ok, colour filters may change characteristics. Not an easy thing to figure out.

They can supply new filters, including for the Ilford Multigrade heads. Not cheap.
