I just got back from a local shop, after looking at an Omega D-2 enlarger. It i s in very nice condition. It has a formica base board, two black 'C'-channel ve rtical rails. The condenser door flips open so you can move the top element up and down to match lens focal length. It commes with a 4x5 glassless carrier, re gular condenser head, and a 135/4.5 Omegaor/Rodenstock lens. The lens is mounte d on a pan that extends the bellows length about 2-3 inches. The aperture setti ng light up in green and red. Everything seems to work fine. There is no rust, and I couldn't detect any light leaks.
He wants $475 with the lens, $425 without. I would need to add a 6x7 glass carr ier and a 105mm lens. I almost bought it, and may go back shortly to get it.
Is this a good buy?
