I can't imagine going back to a non-autofocus enlarger after using the V35. Being able to just go up an down 'til I get the right cropping and no going up, refocus, going down, refocus, up again, refocus and down again, refocus, etc. I am very particular in my cropping. I don't do that black border around uncropped photos, which for most photographers (not HCB) was a pretension, because many pictures I see could use some minor, or major, cropping and losing black borders to do it is no loss (except there's less flare!). ============= Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO Borger King.
