Anyone have anything to say about the Zone VI 5x7 enlarger? There's one up for bid on EBay auctions, with the variable contrast coldlight.

I don't own one but I know it can be outfitted with a 8x10 head and that is reason enough to consider purchasing it at a reasonable price. Dick have you looked at their websight? They have tons of accessories, I haven't been there in while so i don't have the address but try a search. It's not tank-like in appearance like the durst but I'm sure if the column can support a 8x head it probably drives like one.

I have heard that the head has had problems. I would check that out before purchase.

As far as I can tell, they are built fine. I own a Zone VI 8x10 cold light that is wonderful to work with...now I just need to buy the darn chassis! :)

P.S. If you can, make sure you get the variable contrast model.
