Hi Mike,
Yes, I have a Durst M605 with colour head and bought some last month, plus the sockets, which are also still available.

Just in case some are thinking about adapting to LED, Heiland makes excellent products: https://heilandelectronic.de/led_kaltlicht.
My version would be 60x more than I paid for the enlarger. :-)

Thanks PanFrank. I have the M605 as well. It may well be that the price is only a reasonable reflection of what was needed by Heiland to design and make it but frankly if there was no alternative then at nearly 1300 euros darkroom colour printing via an enlarger would cease to be a viable proposition for me

Yes, of course. You even may buy ordinary enlarger bulbs which are banned before halogen bulbs.

If replacement lights for your enlarger become too expensive, it might be cheaper just to buy another enlarger. I'm looking at this one, but it gives no price and doesn't say if it has film carriers for either 110 or disc film...?

Terry I believe Jeff is thinking of buying it and you say:"Which Jeff is that? We have two Jeffs on FADU but neither has been seen for a few years"

I reply:" No neither of those Jeffs. It's the new Jeff, you know the one. he's called Jeff Bezos"

I've been interested in the new Intrepid LED efforts.

( https://intrepidcamera.co.uk/product...it?taxon_id=10 )

I haven't seen any user experiences posted anywhere yet but hopefully we'll be seeing some soon.

I hadn't seen this before. It looks really interesting. I'd like a VC LED light source for a Beseler 2x3 enlarger. The controller looks very good.

I have read, that other people have intended to contact Intrepid, to ask about sales of the LED light source only. I haven't seen any follow up to this, so it might be worth an email to them, to enquire. It could easily be something that they had not thought of and could easily be a new revenue stream for them.
