Currently I'm using an old MPP micromatic 5x7 enlarger with a cold light. This is used with 5x4 negs, and I'm pleased with the very even illumination and light colour. I also have a small condenser enlarger for smaller formats. When I use the condenser enlarger I find there is a quality I like that is absent with the diffused cold light head, so I'm after a 5x4 condenser enlarger. I would ideally have gone for a 5x7 condenser enlarger, but they are as rare as hens teeth. Does any one have any oppinions on the Omega D3? I know about the so called auto focus - my MPP has this daft system also, in fact the chassis on both look remarkably similar. It's the light source that I'm concerned about - are they up to the job?
