[LargeFormat] Not seen very often... 8x10 Enlargers

[philip lambert]

If you had a wide angle enlarger lens (if such exist at 8x10) you might
manage with a shorter column; alternatively you could scan in your
negative,enlarge it digitally,printing via an inkjet printer.
Would that give the same quality as traditional printing?.  Maybe you could
download the scanned image to a professional printer and get a sharp 20x16
that way. How big did you plan to go?  PL
