Smile Durst M306 off eBay.

I have just bought and collected a Durst M306 and absolutely every thing I will need for both developing and enlarging in a darkroom for £47. All extremely well looked after, in original boxes and polystyrene and with instructions. I'm extremely pleased and very excited about the journey I am about to start. This is when I will start becoming a nuisance asking questions every 2 minutes.

Well done Mark, sounds as if you will be set for the darkside of b/w photography, You won't be a nuisance asking questions, we have all had to start somewhere, and where better than here?, good luck with it all, Durst is a very good make indeed,
Richard

Thank you Jim, enjoying it so far, hoping to get my first images done this weekend. I've had to order a new timer, I couldn't get the Philips one to worko ordered a very simple Paterson. I know the enlarger works, which is the main thing, as I've tried it with the kettle lead off a battery charger.

There are no dumb questions - except those you don't ask.

We have all been beginners - in some millennium or another

It would be worth trying to link up with another analogue printer if you can.

There is a lifetime of learning ahead.

Good luck

Martin
