LOL! I wish I still had my De Vere 5x4 enlarger, but I've nowhere to
put such a thing. Anyway, although I have access to some 5x4 Sinar
equipment, the largest format I still have of my own is a couple of
Mamiya 645s.
OT anecdote: Some years ago a colleague asked if I'd take her wedding
photos. I used to dislike doing that in the 70s and 80s so I wasn't
keen on taking the hundreds of shots that seem to be the modern fashion.
She persisted, so I said I would if she bought me the 22 megapixel
digital back for my Mamiya 645 Pro. OK, she said, so I suggested she
ought to check the price, after which she declined :-)
