[Leica] V35 enlarger

[datamaster at northcoastphotos.com (Gary Todoroff)]

I used the V35 for about two years, sold it and went back to my 1C. 
Although the variable contrast head was very handy, I just liked 
better how the 1C handled and always kept precise auto-focus. I never 
quite trusted the V35 on autofocus and found it difficult to adjust 
for that. My 1C is the last model made with the white Formica 
baseboard and the extra tall column - very elegant and sturdy.

I sold my Omega D5500 with computer color head, motorized everything, 
turret with three lenses, foot switch, etc, etc a year ago for a 
whopping $350 on eBay (about $10,000 altogether on the retail price 
list). Took me most of a day just to package it for shipping! My all 
time favorite was the Leica 2C, my daily companion as a darkroom 
printer in Stockholm many years ago - I wrote up that story for the 
LHSA Viewfinder and posted it at http://northcoastphotos.com/article1.html
