Note, we replaced the pictured Leitz enlarger with a third LPL 4500 series. One of the LPL 4500's will have the LPL mixing box dedicated for 35 mm negatives, thus ensuring a brighter projected image.

While looking for macrophotography lenses I came across these nicely done tests of optics on the Close-Up Photography website. Some of these optics may also be suitable for a DSLR/mirrorless film...

My suggestion (which I have not yet tried) is make a larger "knob" out of PVC plumbing pipe. The PVC plastic is relatively easy to saw and you can use PVC cement to glue various pieces together. Use...
Has anyone tried the B&W King developing reel & tank system? It appears similar in design to the Nikkor 4x5 reel & tank (which some like, others do not). Unlike the Nikkor, one B&W King model will...

I will second the Kako ICEtrekkers Diamond Grip Traction System. The metal at the toe prevents it from sliding back and loosening (unlike the various YakTrax models I've used). Also it has grippers...
