Caution, large format photography can become addictive.  I'm a many year
35mm guy that now owns 3 4x5 view cameras and 2 8x10's who is now lusting
for a 11x14 --- where does it end.  I saw a 16x20 enlarger for sale on ebay.

For your friend, there is a 5x7 Simon-Omega enlarger for sale on ebay now
for $300 opening bid and if you hit "Buy it now" for $350 he will pay for
crating.

  I have two 31" Kreonite processors, one for color and one for B&W.  Now
I'm lusting after a 52" Kreonite because I see them selling for peanuts on
ebay.  The "going digital" revolution has benefited me greatly re: buying
equipment but I catch it when I need to sell surplus created when I moved to
a different camera or bought a whole darkroom package because I needed 1
piece.

:>Vinnie, I never thought it was.
:>I was hoping to get some advice how to improve and I did.
:>I also like to generate a new discussion from time to time when people get
:>bogged down talking about wet darkroom hardware; I lost interest in such
:>matters decades ago.
:>This discussion group is a valuable resource. A friend of mine
:>has now taken
:>up 5x7 - there can't be a lot like him in the UK although there was one in
:>Norway!
:>Is it true that half plate, 5x7 and its metric near equivalent have
:>darkslides with the same outside dimensions just different internals?   I
:>nearly bought a halfplate piece of furniture but was deterred by no
:>darkslides included.
