Good morning from my side of the world,

I had a quick question about the rebranding of enlargers. I heard great things about the Saunders LPL 7700 enlargers, and I am looking for some of these for my darkroom. Is the Saunders LPL 7700 the same as the Kindermann LPL 707B but rebranded?

The 7700 and 707B? Yeah, they're pretty much the same LPL thing but with different names. Same parts inside, just a re-label, so grab whichever one you see first.

Hi David,

Thank you for the confirmation! I heard these are great enlargers that are built well and simple to learn to use for a community darkroom.

Concur on it being a great enlarger. Used one for many years and still have it, but it's now in the original box only because I picked up a Omega D5 with the Dichroic head for a bargain price. Given how little I print 4x5 these days I'm tempted to switch back.
