First Light Durst Ce1000 Laborator

First light with my Durst enlarger. Now for paper, etc and learn how to make real prints.

The Ce1000 is what I consider to be the best 4x5 enlarger out there, and I've used several different brands over the years. OEM glassless negative carriers I found very prone for negatives to "pop" in them. I've adapted other brand glass carriers to my Ce1000 which totally addressed that problem. Adaption of them to the Ce1000 was all too simple.

That's looking great. Best of luck!

I got glass. What did you do to use glass?

It is realy one of the best 4x5 enlargers.
I spend mine a Splitgrate three years ago.
I can use it with or without glass holders.
The different negative frames and glasses are still available.
The Kienzle company in Germany offers all of it.
