Hi G,

I agree - I'm not looking for a megabuck all-electronic all-motorized monster.

But I would like to have a solid mechanical workhorse that allows large enlargments, is flexible, stable and easy to maintain.

I can get a Durst 138S for quite a bit less than the 1200, but then there's the question of space...

Actually, an L138 or 139 doesn't take up (much) more space than a desktop enlarger. I switched from a Agfa Varioskop 60 on top of an old desk to the standalone G139 and got more space in the lab. The G139 (that's a L138 with the lower part of a 8x10" L184) takes less than 1m^2 (about 90cm wide and 80cm deep). It fits into a room of 2.12m height, but needs about 2.50 when fully up (with the CLS1000 color head).


I can very much recommend it, the maximum enlargment size on the ground board (full down of course) is about 100x80cm. The only enlarger I would swap for the G139 is a DeVere 507 floor standing model...
