[rollei_list] Re: Durst M 605

Hi Thor:

I am actually selling my old M 605 at my parents house in Germany.  See:

http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/ eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7531400145&ssPageName=ADME:B:LC:DE:1

Mine is ca 25 years old and was one of the top 6x6 B&W enlargers at the time. If you happen to drive through Germany you could look at it, as we set it up this summer. I would have brought it over here to the US if I could have carried it. I think, the Durst is definitely better made than the Omega B22 I use here. However my Durst only comes with the 35mm mask and lens. AFAIK parts are still readily available from Durst in Italy.
Not sure what they are worth right now. I suspect they go for more in the US than in Europe.
Cheers,
Jan

I haven't had a chance to inspect it, but before I did had hoped to get
some info from the list(s).
I don't have any darkroom, and am considering picking up something to
make prints from 6x6 negs (B&W). I might have to mothball it until we
get a bigger house, or I might convert a small room at the office. Who
knows.
Is this an enlarger worth considering? Any other favourites?
Anyone know this unit, and can give some tips as to what I should look
for? I plan on inspecting it and maybe making an offer (depending on
the feedback here). What's soemthing like this worth? Will I need an
additional enlarging lens (what's a good match for the Schneider glass
on the 6000?)
Or am I better off with a scanner (Canon 9950F looks nice...) and a
printer, or using a foto lab for prints? Or both scanner and
enlarger..? ;-)
Anyone?
Cheers,
Thor
