Enlargers

[tmartenst]

Hello,
I have the option to buy a Durst AC 800 for $250 or a Rollei 6x7 cxl for $50 and I may have the option of an Omega Super Chromega Dichroic II D for $200. I am wondering if any of you could give me some advice. Looking on the internet it seems that the Durst is a nice enlarger, but is computerized and definately more technical than enlargers that i have used.

A shop is closing near me and I am wondering if these are good deals or rip offs. This would be my first enlarger but I want to pursue my own enlarging further with eventual Medium format. If you think I should not buy any of these and know of a better deal please let me know. Sorry so long. Tom

I guess the only advice I can give you is to check the completed items on ebay. MF enlargers have been selling for almost nothing lately, but take into consideration the freight charge if buying it from someone on ebay. Welcome to the forum.
