Hi everybody,

Just a quick note to let you know I'm breaking down my darkroom as it works out cheaper for me to get my printing done by Michael Dyer in London now. Plus, those guys print better than I ever did!

Here's what I have, all in excellent plus to near mint condition and all fully operable:

Devere 5108 wall mount enlarger.
Spare lightbox / colour dial in head for Devere 5108.
Power stablizer and Devere timer.
Rodenstock Rodagon f5.6 300mm lens.
Schneider G Claron f11 240mm lens.
Metoform 2060 RA4 24 inch dry to dry processor with manuals. For B&W and Colour.
G&H Industries 30 inch photographic roll paper dispenser.
Saunders 30 x 40 inch 4 blade easel.
2 Sinks - large tray / deep wash with cistern.
Water filter and water heater etc etc.

I am based in Cardiff, and am open to offers if there's anything on there that interests any of you.

Take care,

Leon.

Hi Leon,

I can process my own B&W negatives, but can not enlarge them. Unfortunately I don`t have space for your equipment (sorry).
I would be interested in the services of Michael Dyer though if he enlarges 8x10 negatives if you would kindly post a link.

Cheers,

Keith.

Hello Keith,

Michael does B&W, his contact details can be found at:

http://www.michaeldyer.co.uk

He prints for a lot of contemporary photographers such as Jem Southam, so he really knows what he's doing! More than I ever did.

It is a shame to break down my darkroom, I hope some of the equipment goes to a good home, as it has served me well and has plenty of life left in it. And if you want the best quality, this is definitely the way forward. Hand printing I mean.

Take care,

Leon.

The roll paper dispenser and Saunders easel are now gone.

Hi Leon-

Could you let me know how much you're looking for the enlarger and G Claron?
Bear in mind that increase in temptation is inversely proportional to the price...

Thanks Leon-
