Hi guys,
I'm interested in doing my own black and white processing and printing, once my budget recovers from my recent camera purchases. It seems pretty easy to get started with black and white processing (many guides online, easily available equipment etc), but I would like to be able to print the negs I process as well.
So my question is: should I get a brand-new enlarger, or a used one? There are occasional WTS: enlarger threads here, but I'm not sure if I should wait for a suitable one to pop up, or if I should just get a new one.
And if I am interested in getting a new enlarger -- where can I buy one from? I'd like to be able to develop 35mm and 120 film.
Thanks in advance.
