I picked up the Zone VI enlarger yesterday. It is all in pieces and needs assembled. Included I got the compensating timer with foot pedal, the variable contrast control for the lighthead and a laser alignment device. The person had a large counterweight and asked if it was part of the enlarger. At the time I said no, but when I got home I pulled out my last issue of my Zone VI catalog. It mentioned the counter weight so I'll have to go back.
Does anyone know where I can get the manual? And if negative carriers are still available? I shot an email to Calumet to see what they have. I picked up the lens holder and the 135 enlarging Schneider componon-S lenses. He had the 50 and 80mm enlarging Schneider lenses so I may get them at $50 each.
If I get this up and running I wonder if I should keep my Durst 139!
I also bought a Caltar 75mm lens. And he still has a Cambo View Camera in the Case. Plus the 90, 115, 135, 150 and 210mm Caltar lenses. He wants $200 for the camera and $200 for each lens. I don't know if this is a good deal or not but all the equipment is in excellent condition and was hardly used.
I'm starting to be a fan of Craig's List.
