Yes could have been that one, not sure. I did put on a better lens, I remember that.
Was a pretty decent enlarger. Gave it away together with cameras one day.
I had a Durst, can't remember the model number, for 35mm and 2 1/4" square, and a Japanese Astron for 5" x 4". Both with color filter drawers. I coveted a DeVere, too expensive.
(2 1/4" square is 6 x 6 cm, for Jan's benefit ;-) )
Most of what I did was 2 1/4" sq. (Mamiya C33, which had full double extension, same-size focusing.) Couldn't afford a Hasselblad.
For 5" x 4". I had an ancient Speed Graphic, and a British-made MPP Technical camera, with every-which-way motions, and triple extension. Macro was outstanding with that.
I'd *love* a large-format digital camera, and professional (dye sub?) printer.
Right now, I'm eyeing a Nikon, with a 24 x 36 mm. CCD, that'll take all the Nikon F lenses. Be still, my heart!

Assuming you're talking about the D800, it has even dyed-in-the-wool Canonites talking about making a switch. Relatively reasonable price for a full-frame too.
Right. Color makes great snapshots but lousy art. B&W gives much better contrast and texture.
