Durst M805
I recently purchased a Durst M805 B&W enlarger which needs the top Bimagla AN Glass insert for the carrier. If anyone could advise me where I could find one please let me know. Also can anyone confirm that the enlarger head only has one mirror to reflect the light to the condensers. Thank you to anyone who takes the time to read this. AO

The new price for a Binema AN glass 32 is well worth the money as they go for silly prices secondhand. And the problem with secondhand as you can imagine, is that you can't be absolutely sure they are free of scratches or marks until you have it in your hands or even make prints. And believe me, even the tiniest graze will definately show up on prints costing you more money and heartache in the long run. Unless you love re-touching? My advice is buy new and have fun straight away rather than wait and perhaps be disappointed and out of pocket later.

Thanks for confirming that for me. I asked because a seller on Ebay sent me some out of focus, blasted with flash pics which seemed to show two mirrors. The guy was a crook...he knew nothing about the item and wanted payment by credit card not paypal.

Alan, good luck with the M805. I had a M800 which served me well for many years. They used to make a cold cathode attachment which just slotted into the head once the condensers were removed but I suspect these would be as rare as 'hens teeth' these days and limited to graded papers.
Enjoy.
