I would
wager that if one were to walk into a professional or serious
photographers darkroom, the most likely enlarger would be a "D".

Or a Beseler 45 or a Durst. All were very successful in the US. Beseler
and Omega being the most successful. But then there were others also
like Eskay, Federal, Solar, etc.

Having bought a Mamiya C330 TLR I was thinking that an enlarger
capable of
6x6 might be a good plan.

Any things to go for or avoid?


In the early 60s I combined a C2 with a Meopta 6x6. Nice thing
about 6x6 is that it is always right-side-up in the enlarger and
of course when taking the picture the camera is always right-
side-up.
Others may have more experience with Meoptas. I can recommend the
old condenser I had. The newer dichro, I've now on the shelf, I cannot
recommend unless they have a fix for the uneven illumination
provided by the installed diffuser. Dan
