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 PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net

Re: Help buying a darkroom
Darkroom prices are in the tank.

Re: Help buying a darkroom
That's a superb darkroom. Before film became nearly extinct, it would have been worth three times that price.

Re: Help buying a darkroom
You probably could not piece it together for that price. However, it is a bit high in todays market, outfits are always quite a bit cheaper than buying individually. Once you get past the enlarger, and lenses nothing there has a great deal of market value anymore. $500, or so, would be a fair price to offer, in my opinion. -- graywolf http://www.graywolfphoto.com http://webpages.charter.net/graywolf Idiot Proof == Expert Proof --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm interested in buying a used darkroom.
