I was looking for enlargers when this popped up on ebay:
Vivitar Model E 34 Photo Enlarger in Original Box | eBay
for the price of $36 I thought what the heck it includes 50 and 75mm lenses and seemed to be in great shape. I bought it without doing much research so now I am trying to gather some more intel about it.
This enlarger will go in my home darkroom. I shoot mostly now 645 medium format. Can anyone lead me to a review or indepth information about this enlarger? The auction stated that it was complete with the negative carriers but I am wondering where I could find a reliable source for replacement components for this piece. Maybe this thread can become a "go to" for other vivitar e34 owner's I believe Holga also made an enlarger very similar to this one.
What about the build quality and print quality? I am excited as this is my first enlarger at home and for the price I am not expecting a ton but hopefully enough to get me off the ground and printing at home with decent results. For about $50 shipped to my house I don't think it was a bad deal but maybe you guys can give me some advice.
Does anyone know how to mount a higher quality lens to this enlarger? Any information is appreciated.
