Greetings,
I have an opportunity to purchase a Leaf 4x5 film scanner with a brand new tube... what are the pros and cons of such a beast? The price is $1,500 and it will come with software, instruction manuals, etc. It is used but in remarkable condition. When it was brand new... I understand they went for about $20,000 plus.
Are there questions I should be asking? Is it still being serviced by the manufacturers (I think it's Creo, who was just purchased by Kodak here in Canada.)
There is also a Besseler 4x5 enlarger with a Besseler/Minolta head available... what should I be paying for this enlarger with the baseboard, stand, and 6 additional lamps? It's in "literally" mint-condition.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Cheers
