    How much gear do you have now Vick? Do you ever have time to shoot anything? What medications/gifts/sweetalk do you give your spouse?

    How could it NOT fit, unless you live in a midget's house (isn't it only 4.5 feet tall).

    Depends on whether it's on a floor stand or not.

    It isn't the gear that sucks my time, it is my two sons, especially the 2 year old.

    So, the story behind the enlarger is that over the summer I purged a lot of stuff, including a PCP-80 projector an a Leitz Focomat IIc enlarger. I was not willing to ship the enlarger, so I used kijiji to list the enlarger. So querying what other darkroom stuff was around, I found the L1200 enlarger in Montreal, for pennies.

    At the same time, I was still dithering on whether to sell all my 4x5 gear, and thought, well, if I have a 4x5 enlarger, it might help to motivate me to use the 4x5 camera. So I picked up the enlarger, and simultaneously found someone to buy and pick up the Focomat.

    Have I shot any 4x5 since summer? No.

    I did replace the bellows on my Linhof, after finding pinholes.

    Yeah, I had two for a while, but I returned the second one to the store. It ended up in Europe and the needed a bellows replacement immediately.

    I'm trying to shoot through a stash of 120 film right now.

    I've got the FEMONEG but it has stripped screws.
    I see one on ebay, but still thinking it is too expensive.
