Any comment on the Beseler 67 cp. I have one I've never used. I'm probably going to
sell it but might decided to keep it depending on what I find out.

You'll get a lot of opinions, all different.
I use a Saunders D6700. It has a color head and can print up to 6x7. I'm
going to sell it because:
- I've come to the conclusion that I don't like color heads for b+w
printing.
- I don't like the focus action.
- I don't think I can get a grade 5 (or 6 or whatever) print out of it.

Well yeah, but get the good glass now. A Nikkor 50mm/2.8 is pretty good
and can be had for under $100 used. There are probably some good ones
available even cheaper, but I'm not familiar with them.

They seem kind of flimsy to me...I've only played with them in the
store.
I would:
- buy used.
- buy something that will go up to 6x7 (probably just about anything
used that will go up to 6x7 and has a filter drawer should be good, as
long as you can get accessories for it).
- get something with a filter drawer rather than a color head. (Or a
VCCE head if you want to spend a few bucks.)
