Re: New De Vere 5108 Owner
Congratulations, it looks like a new machine. I have a 5108 I transported from a garage in Detroit to my darkroom in SW Florida. Well worth the effort.
Several of us here have this machine, let us know if you need any help!

Lucky find ! But maybe it was there because chickens do darkroom work cheaper than humans. Or perhaps they contribute something special to the developer. Albumen prints perhaps? It looks beautiful.

Very nice!
A friend had one a while back but was at a loss due to no negative carrier. This turned out to be a real stumbling block for him. I sent him this picture to help him make one, but I don't think he ever did and wound up selling the enlarger.

I sold mine about 10 years ago, but I occasionally needed DeVere parts, and KHB often had them: http://store.khbphotografix.com/home.php
Good luck!

Greg, was it in a storage unit in Fort Myers, I saw one there about a year or two ago, I already had mine when I saw this one. The guy had a pile of stuff, tons of lenses, no great deals as I recall. I paid up for a print washer that he had.
Re: New De Vere 5108 Owner
Thanks for the kind words. I am designing a full set of masks including J Lane, and an updated neg carrier to be done on cnc. Will make extra for sale!
Any input on what’s good and bad be helpful. I am thinking every mask is cut from 8x10 size insert to save the hassle of the frame within frame...
Re: New De Vere 5108 Owner
I can’t help with your DeVere but I saw you on tour in 91 and 93. Awesome shows.

I would be interested in well made carriers. I could use a custom size, 5x8 inch, I shoot a lot with that format. I made a crude 4x5 holder because I couldn’t find the proper DeVere one.
