Paul, Shel was good enough to send me the same article, and I found something similar by Ctein in the CompuServe Photography Forum. I keep it in a notebook with my other darkroom materials. I have been watching for Schneider's, and likely will buy one when my budget allows. I've been putting a darkroom in the extra bathroom, and I'm amazed at how much I spend on "little" things, like new trays, papersafes, proofing printers, etc. I'm also picking up a couple of additional pieces for my C220, since I decided to stick with it for MedFo for the time being.
I appreciate the generous offer to use your old Omegaron, but I still have the one that came with my enlarger 25 years ago, a 75mm f3.5 El-Omegar, and that has never been touched!! Still had the silicon packet when I opened it. It'll have to do for awhile, I guess. > -----Original Message----- > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Paul Stenquist > Sent: March 02, 2002 11:32 AM > > I would go for the Componon-S if you can.
