Thanks for the info, Dick.

I'm trying to visualize what an 11x14 would do with some of my negatives
(few and far apart, I'm afraid, because the camera is so bulky to carry
around and film expensive...).
Just a 2:1 enlargement takes us to 22x28.  Soon one gets into the 12
feet X 8 feet work I do with hotel rooms and pinhole.  Perhaps slightly
lest bulky..  -:!))

I'll do a little research for more info on these enlargers on the web
and see if there is anything by way of references or pictures.

Thanks again and best regards,

Guy
