First off, my bad if I'm spamming the film section, I'm just trying to get a solid foundation of knowledge as I move on.
To the point, as I approach the end of my first roll of film I am met with two options, buy an enlarger and all the stuff needed with that, or buy a scanner. For me a scanner isn't really necessary since I don't care about showing my pictures to anyone, but it is obviously much more convenient. Then again, if I cared about convenience I wouldn't have started on film...
So I'm on my local classifieds and come across this listing:
1 Durst 606 Enlarger
1 Focus tool (don't know what that means)
1 Paper holder
1 Set of Enlarger filters
3 11x14 developing trays
12 8x10 developing trays
1 Developing timer
2 Chemical temp gages
6 2 1/4" reels + developing tanks
9 35mm reels + developing tanks
2 tongs
13 Chemical jugs (doesn't say if empty or expired or whatever)
2 Darkroom lights
Various other goodies (don't know)
All for $200 CAD (so like $30 USD? nah jk jk)
But is this a good deal? I can definitely make the guy come down a bit but lets say he doesn't. Worth it?
