Some background on my experience: I am 18 years old, have taken a few classes involving darkroom photography (so am pretty comfortable with B&W darkroom) and want to setup a darkroom in my home.
After some research, I've decided that the Beseler 23C seems like a good fit to use as an enlarger (if someone thinks a different enlarger would be better, please suggest it!)
I do have some questions, however. I found one Beseler 23C enlarger with a Dichroic Color Head. The seller is asking for $400 (which to me seems fairly overpriced, I was thinking of offering them 150 dollars, 200 dollars at most). Would this be a good choice in enlarger, if I were able to get the price down?
I found another Beseler 23C enlarger on craigslist for only 100 dollars (also, included are all the seller's other darkroom materials). However, this is only B&W, and I was wondering if I would be able to add a color head to the enlarger later on, if I so wanted.
Finally, just wanted to make sure, the 23C can print both medium format and 35mm, correct? (as long as I use the correct negative slide holder).
