I think this may be the year I invest in the Kienzle C252 with a Heiland LED splitgrade head. I can choose freestanding or a baseboard model. The freestanding is a bit more but I can afford it...
The largest size I"m likely to print is 20x24. I'll be printing from 8x10, 8x8, 5x7, and 5x5 negatives. I have an LPL 4550 XLG that also has a Heiland LED for 4x5-35.
Do I need the freestanding or would I be perfectly happy with the baseboard model? Much of the weight of an 8x10 enlarger is no longer present due to the LED panel.
I actually have a converted Zone VI 8x10 with a Kienzle VC diffusion head...now that thing is HUGE. I'll be selling that set up FYI.
What do you think?
