OK, so I stepped out the last darkroom of my life in 1985. Marriage, kids, graphics, music career, whatever and so on and then back to digital photography in 2016 and then film again in 2018 and then large format for the first time.
But all of it hybrid, that is, scanning all my negs and then printing. I'm pretty happy with that. Got a nice Epson 7880 that give me nice enough and large enough prints.

But then again, wouldn't it be nice to to try some darkroom prints too. Isn't there some sort of special magic to that?
Well, I'm probably better at Photoshop, and life is too short to get it right, but it would be nice to try too.

And then I found this enlarger at a Swedish auctions site, A Durst Laborator 1200 with a VLS 501 head, three lenses, light boxes for 4x5 and 6x6 and more...
And I haven't got a clues of what is good and usable.

If I'll get an enlarger it has to close to usable, don't have the time and energy to renovate too much.
Would it be usable as it is for 4x6 and 120 and 135?
It's a pickup so there is a 700km drive to bring it home.

I know this is off any tangent but insights, thoughts or refections would be much appreciated.
