Simmon Omega B-8 vs Durst 609 enlarger?
I have a darkroom. All is set up but the enlarger was on the borrow. Have to return it within a week.
So I'm looking for a replacement. I have a chance to buy the old Simmon Omega B-8 enlarger for 80 bucks.
I have not yet had a good look at it, will do this weekend.
Q-is it worth buying (providing it's in very good condition)?
My other budget option is Durst 609.
Any input is appreciated.
TIA
Thanks ace, you gave me some food for thought.
The Omega, btw, comes with 120 & 35mm negative holders and a couple of lenses I have to a look at before I buy.
Omega and Beseler have been the most popular enlargers used by both students and professional photo artists.
Durst was somewhat popular with amateurs and one was used in a pro lab I worked in, but it seems to have fallen off the horizon when it comes to classroom darkrooms and personal or photographers darkrooms.
I still use an Omega D2 I have had for many years and it works just as well now as it did when I bought it used nearly 20 years ago.
Since you already have your darkroom set up, all you need is your replacement enlarger, negative carriers and lenses for your various format films.
I would suggest you buy the Omega.
