I got a Meopta Axomat II from a friend in the photofinisher where I got
my NOS Canon EOS 30, plus a ton of old papers and a bottle of ether (!)
a "Lightmaster" darkroom photometer some old trays a siphon for washing
prints and a heating element for washing films. Most of the paper was
expired crap but there were some packs of sealed Orwo East German papers
which were still good!! Size from 10X15 to 30X40 Cm. The papers were of
course crap compared even to the worst "capitalist" papers but I got
some Czech "Foma" bulk film for my Konica Hi-Loader which was also very
good!! Also got some 40X50 Foma, have yet to test it. The ex-East Block countries have tradition in classical photograhy. The enlarger is
suprisingly good after all those years. I fixed also the light master
myself recapped it the caps cost 80 cents!!! have yet to calibrate it
but don't really need I always estimate the exposure time for the paper
by experience. I also got a NOS Speedlite 540 EZ for my Canon.
