Masking off that stray light isn't that difficult with any of them- but it pays off. The one I used a few times at a rental darkroom in DC impressed me with its quality and ease of use.Īs far as light leaks go, "they all do that" to some extent.

I've admired Dursts (from a distance) and known fine darkroom workers who preferred the Beseler machines. They are like a Ford (or Chevy)pickup truck. despite their flaws they are rugged machines capable of top-quality work I'd enjoy printing with a Dichroic II color head again but I'm not going looking for one. My home enlarger for 30 years has been an Omega D-II form the Korean War era (with a stabilized cold-light head). That would be in two custom labs as well as decades inside Eastman Kodak.
