Try looking for Odyssey Sales on the internet. I also think you would find the Durst very hard to beat, and at least you know you are going to get the backup with no major problem.

Enlargers: old fashioned and unfashionable, but I want to upgrade my Durst M805 to a 4x5 kit, (so I can print the full X-pan and Bessa negs ;-) ). I really want the best, and I'm happy to sit and wait for it to come up. Which chassis, which lenses and which light sources should I be "waiting" for to cope with colour negs, b/w fibre and multigrade paper and Ilfochrome. Keep it off list as it may be considered too un-Leicalike. My initial search is turning up: devere 504, but they went belly up, and parts etc will be hard to come by Omega D5XL, D6X, or D5500: how do these differ? Durst Labrator 1200.
