I was looking for a new enlarger and mentioned this to the owner of the lab that processed all of my chrome. They said wait, come back tomorrow. So the next day when I picked up my film they told me they'd sell me a Saunders 4x5 enlarger, color head, VCCE B&W head and a 4x5 camera with a schneider lens all for $600. These folks were very smart and always were on the cutting edge of stuff, about a year later they sold all of their lab equipment and began a new business. Back then almost everyone was still film based so they sold the processors at a fair price and everything...The lab that I now use still uses their old processor, but they are back to 3 days a week on chrome. Oh and the people that used to own the enlarger and lab? They have a custom made bus and travel the country shooting car shows and chroma keying in the cars into cool backgrounds, printing huge prints and selling them on the spot. Neat people. -- Harrison McClary Harrison McClary Photography harrison@mcclary.net http://www.mcclary.net ImageStockSouth - Stock Photography http://www.imagestocksouth.com Tobacco Road: Personal Blog: http://www.mcclary.net/blog
