What lens & bulb for a DURST 606 enlarger please? hi all-hope someone can help. i'm about to take delivery of a DURST 606 enlarger apparently in good shape-bought it on the net for £35pounds ($60) inc. delivery. Has anyone any experience with these enlargers? More importantly its coming without a bulb or lens and I need to know what bulb to get and what type, size, thread of lens to go for-its for printing 120 rollfilm. Is the thread issue important and r there many different types of thread?-i dont want to go hunting for a lense if it'll be the wrong type-Any help will be most welcome-many thanks-VICTOR (N.Ireland)

I got a Durst 606 enlarger as a hand-me-down, also without bulb or lens. What I ended up doing was buying a lens I felt I could work with and using a lathe to cut the threads. Since then, everything else in the enlarger has failed on me at least once, but I've had no problems with the lens. If you have a lathe and are capable with it, that's the way to go. Good luck. If anyone can tell me why the whole dang thing leaks light, I'd be glad of the help!
