I don't know if this particular outfit is good value, but I know that I paid €25 for a very large Vivitar colour enlarger with a 50mm nikkor that is said to be very good, and €50,- for a collection of the other stuff (developing tanks, trays, grips, spools, beakers etc, etc.). Most of that is Paterson, and in very good condition. I think you can piece together a good darkroom under $100,-, these days :o) -- Regards, Lucas -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
