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 :-)
