Hi Alex,
My main enlarger is a Meopta Opemus 6, I think it is a old
version because its negative carrier doesn't have anti-newton
glass. It goes up to 6x6. It is a very well built item, can
print on the base over 30x40cm with a 135 negative and 50mm
enlarging lens (I enlarged up to 50x70cm - on the floor -
without problem). The thing I love the most in it is the
rangefinder focusing (you don't have to look at the projected
negative, you only have to make two lines coincide when the
carrier is half way in).
I cannot help you wrt price, since I paid the equivalent of 200
euro back in 1997 including a Nikkor EL 50/4 lens (both used,
like new). Don't know how much is their price brand new right
now. It's a shrinking market, I guess. I bought a year or so ago
a Krokus 6x9 (with lens) that I paid 45 euro (the shipping was
something like 70 euro, though...)
Hope this helps.
Ciao,
Gianfranco
