Why not stick with a Leitz enlarger? I have an old  Focomat and an old
Valoy. The  1937 Valoy gets most of the use. It has beautiful precision
helical focusing no other enlarger offers and a perfect condenser & negative
carrier system. I easily make 16X20 prints that are tack sharp corner to
corner. These enlargers are inexpensive on ebay and at shows. I use a EL
Nikkor 2.8 50 lens.
