I know one of your lenses alone is worth more than >that. The plastic shelving for the wet area, some 2x4 lumber to make a frame to hold the shelving over the tub, some pieces of 1x6 for brackets to hold the new counter top on which the enlargers sit securely to the wall, the plywood for the counter top, and the materials for constructing the print drying cabinet. It also includes the hose and fixtures that's attached to the shower head which will run into the print washer when I build that, and some odds and ends, like screws, bolts, wire, and the clock. It does not include the darkroom equipment, like the enlargers, safe light, trays, timers, etc. The total cost for the two enlargers, the Saunders easel, and the three enlarging lenses (50/2.8 El Nikor, 50/2.8 APO Rodenstock, and 80/4.0 Componon-S) was but $550.00. One enlarger, the easel, and the Nikor was free, the other, with the Componon (and several negative carriers) was but $350.00, and the Rodenstock was $195.00. > Looks good to me.
