    WTA : Price of Omega D5XL

    I was offered an omega D5xl for 1000USD.

    Includes :
    One schneider lens.

    Rodenstock Omegaron 150mm F: 4.5 Lens with lensboard

    Omega 4x5 D-D Mixing box

    Premiere 4 in one easel

    4 Negative Carriers (35mm, 6x6, 4x5 and 6x7)

    Photronic Model CT-100 Densilator

    Kodak 1A Safelight cat no 152 1517

    Microsight focusing scope

    Baseboard is not included but the basemount with all screws are included

    Should I go for it ?

    How does it stand without a base board? So my only choice is to project the image to a wall.. Now, can I even rotate the head to project the image to a wall?

    Thanks

    I think USD 500 would be a decent buy with the lens included.

    200.00 - Outstanding price
    300.00 - still excellent price
    500.00 - quite decent price
    800.00 - too high
    1000.00 - way too high

    Dan95,

    You can easily make your own baseboard, or mount the enlarger directly to a counter top. Not a problem.

    However, the asking price is, at least, $500 too high.

    Nathan seems pretty close on his figures, though I might drop the $500 catagory to $400, with $500 being "starting to get to be too high price".

    I might have an extra baseboard around -- but it would be for pick-up only (far northwestern CA)

    I am based in Malaysia btw. Its hard to find large format enlargers.

    Was about to buy a CLS501 ( wall mounted ) for 800USD. Then the seller's house was devastated by a flood. Enlarger was a goner.

    Included :

    Durst CLS 501 enlarger (Leica Grade in Enlarger) Made in Germany
    4 x schneider lens
    contact prints Rack ( like New)
    timer
    135mm, 6X7, 4X5 , Format are all included.

    *Nearly quit large format photography because I didnt have a LF enlarger. Thought of selling the stuff. Shooting film and not being able to enlarge is no fun

    Currently have a Meopta Magnifax 4. They go for around 200-300USD here in Malaysia.
