[QUOTE=peterlg;86040]Hello Chip, and welcome to FADU, a paradise for serious and friendly photographers! I once heard about somebody who converted an enlarger into a camera - sure you must have the necessary spare parts to that
Peter You used to be able to make an enlarger out of a Speed Graphic. Chip

Welcome! That's quite a collection of darkroom equipment you have there. Very impressive.

I also have about 30 top enlarging lenses for 35mm, incl. 2 Focotar-2s, and my favorite, a 50mm 3.5 Komuranon-S. I shoot as much as I can w/a Nikon N80 now and the wonderful nikon 28-105AF. I also have a Contax G1&G2 outfit w/5lenses. I do have health and financial problems which limit my activity, though. Let"s all keep film shining bright!
Greetings Chip! I too use a Nikon N80 with the same 28-105 lens. I inherited it from my wife when she went digital. (her loss) I do use other cameras and formats, but I am still fond of this set up. Paul

Thanks, everyone! I must also say that I have a 48mm G-10 Angenieux enlarging lens. It was $100 25 yrs ago from a Chicago store, and it is too fabulous for words--light, baby-blue color to the print, the most glossy whites of any of the many lenses I've used (it has that in commom w/the Komura S), and a real jazzy feel.
