Hi all, I have been collecting/using darkroom equipment for a bit now and am trying to downsize due to space. I am trying to decide the best enlarger and lenses to keep. In the country I live in it is hard to come by darkroom equipment hence I am asking for advice as to what is the best to keep aa the others I am wanting to sell. I am only shooting and processing 35mm film and will not be processing medium or large format anytime in the foreseeable future. The items I have below are what I'm trying to decide between: Enlargers: - Durst M600 full complete setup in great condition - Meopta Opemus 3 in box in like new condition full setup - Spare Meopta Opemus 3 without baseboard and with slight rust - Meopta Axomat 2 full setup in good condition Enlarging lenses: - Meopta Belar 4,5/75 - Schneider-Kreuznach composer 4,5/75 - Federal anastigmat 4,5 - Steinhel München Cassar 3,5/50 - E-Marexar 3,5/50 - Minolta E-Rokkor 4,5/50 - Nippon El-Nikkor 2,8/50 - Schneider-Kreuznach Durst Companon 4/50 - Meopta Belar 4,5/50. All assistance/advice would be greatly appreciated. Want to keep as little as possible but without getting rid of something that I will need at a later stage.
I would also keep the Schneider 75, in case you ever do medium format. You likely won't get much for it anyway. Personally, I would look for a newer 75 or 80. But presuming you can't get one, keep the Schneider 75
