I made my first enlarger using the lens off an old 35 mm guess and shoot (just a distance scale for focusing). The light source was an old microscope lamp and I made the film holder in the workshop. It worked well for what it was, and I learned a lot about light in the process. I should point out that I had to do this if I wanted an enlarger, because we were poor but had lots of "stuff" laying around. Leon http://www.bluering.org.au http://www.bluering.org.au/leon
