Don,

Heh, heh, heh....... now that made me chuckle......   It makes the 138 look 
like focus finder :-)

I have until tomorrow to decide whether I want the paper roll machine and 
desk that also go with the 8x10 enlarger. It's a good thing that this house 
doesn't have a cellar! The paper machine is full - we don't know what the 
paper is though and it feels around the same weight as the enlarger.

It was explained to me that the two gizmos would be ideal for print 
consistency across batch runs. Clearly I have to find a larger house as 
more of this gear becomes available......... Yes sir, we can print twenty 
5ft by 6ft prints in our one hour processing special from your 8x10 negs 
and have the same lack of detail in the sky in all of them ;-)

An additional piece of kit thrown in was a double water filter - which will 
be put to good use in the archival washing of film and prints.

How are you getting on with the Durst?

Cheers,
            Clive
