The dark room is not in vogue. but there equipment is online at cheap prices..... you can buy ..an enlarger system for around $50 bucks..plus shipping... I liked the Durst 301 as is is a well mounted straight pole at about 24 inches high, solid mount plenty of room to add all kind of adapteres.. Photo's later... Report this Post to the Staff

We both have modified enlarger stands that we use for copy stands. They are sturdy, and can be retro-fitted in whatever way you please. Austrokiwi really went all out setting his up, so I'd recommend doing a search for that thread. Report this Post to the Staff
austrokiwi Pillar of the Community 2087 Posts	Posted 02/07/2014 01:26 am thanks for posting Aladinslamp. Even though its been discussed before Its well worth reminding people that there are alternatives to the shockingly expensive copy stands in the market. A Photographic enlarger can be purchased for a few dollars and if you get the right sort can produce a copy stand considerably better than the US$600-US$800.00 top range copy stands. as brg5658 pointed out. I posted the steps I took to make a copy stand from an enlarger. Initially I just asked if it could be done, from the answers I received I was able to pick the right sort of enlarger then the rest was relatively easy. Here is the link to that thread: https://goccf.com/t/154003 Report this Post to the Staff
