Data Optics, Inc.?

[Mark Sawyer]

I just finished building an 8x10 condenser enlarger, actually a conversion from an 8x10 reprographic camera built by Data Optics of Ypsilanta, Mich. around 1990. The lens is also branded as a Data Optics product. Great enlarger; I'm quite satisfied with the initial prints.

Anywho, I was wondering if anyone knew much about Data Optics (they seem pretty high-end from their web site), or what the quality of the lens might be? Seems pretty decent, but I've just gone to 11x14 so far...

Mark, Why not just call 'em up and ask them about their optics. Highly likely that they get there lenses from one of the known suppliers.
