An enlarger is a specialized transparency projector used to produce photographic prints from film or glass negatives, or from transparencies.

Bought myself a MF camera and in the process (forgive the pun) of developing my own negatives. Not sure at the moment whether to go down the route of scanning the negatives and using a printer; or go back to a traditional wet room? I need to find out more of what is still involved. If I want to print my negatives I will need an enlarger and I believe the devere enlargers are among the best, in terms of producing good quality prints and also in build quality.

I want eventually to go onto LF so perhaps need a 504? Can anyone give me advice on the different devere models and am I going down the right road? Thanks for all your help. I am looking on ebay for a DeVere, though it was mentioned that a Durst can be equally good.

When you start looking into the type of emlarger to go for, the Devere always comes out at the top. From what I have read, the 504 will meet most, if not all, printing needs. The smaller 203 also seems good, and again appears will meet most printing needs. Pricing for secondhand is not an issue as I have seen 203 selling higher than a similar 504; when you would expect it to be the other way round. Is it better to have a free-standing model or a bench model (if size is not imnportant)for printing? I guess I am just going to have to take the plunge when one comes along, and just buy it, then try it out! Not sure if anyone is still interested, but for what its worth I used a DeVere 504 with cold cathode head for 25 years from 1977, almost exclusively for 5x4 but sometimes for 6x6 and 35mm.

It was (still is) a wonderful enlarger, built like a battleship, very high precision and absolutely reliable. The advantages of cold cathode head: diffuse light minimises negative dust, scratches or defects; it prints softer that collimated head (which artificially increases contrast); and cold source prevents negative distortion through heat expansion. Possible disadvantages: B&W only and won't work with multigrade paper, due to noncontinuous spectrum of cold light source. Because the light window is 5x4, exposure times are longer for smaller neg formats.
