Yet Another Enablement, minor this time ;-)
Having bought the K10D I made my small photo bag obsolete. Simply put, if I were to put in there the K10D with Tamron 28-75 attached, it would mean virtually no space for anything else. So I shelled out some money and bought myself a LowePro Orion Trekker II - which is half photo bag half regular back back. What a lovely piece of gear! ;-) -- Boris -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net

So I shelled out some money and bought myself a LowePro Orion Trekker II - which is half photo bag half regular back back. Good luck with it! Lowepro makes good bags. Musings on yet another bag ... There are times when I need to carry both camera and laptop, or camera and portfolio book, or portfolio book and laptop, or all three. I've been using the Timbuk2 Commuter XL bag for this and it works well with two of the above, best with the computer/portfolio shaped bits, but is an awkward thing to get the bulky size/shape of a DSLR in and out of, particularly with bulkier lenses (and I mean lenses like the FA20-35 here, as opposed to the DA21... not monstrous things like an FA*200/2.8 ... ;-). I love the bag for day to day running about when I have to carry the laptop, but it's sure a pain to shoot out of. When in SF a week or so ago, I stopped into a camera shop and saw the Kata Sensitivity V Ergo-Tech backpack and was impressed with it. It's a reasonably slim, light backpack design, with a top handle and dual strap traditional harness (I've given up on sling style bags). The padded computer compartment is separately accessible from the main compartment and would fit my laptop nicely. The main compartment has enough depth back to front to fit a good sized camera and lens assembly, and is also separated into upper and lower stories, with separate zippered openings, so that you can get to individual bits without having to unzip the whole thing. The two-story compartmentalization can also be undone by unzipping the intermediate piece, giving you one big space to load into if you have a largish thing to carry in addition to smaller stuff. I have a Lowepro CompuTrekker AW already and find it has been excellent to schlep camera gear and computer through airports, ferries, and trains, but it's huge, bulky, and terrible at carrying stuff like a computer and a portfolio around, virtually useless to work with for shooting due to the way the openings are organized. (Basically, you have to lay it on the ground and unzip it completely to get to anything other than a small bit stored at the top of the main compartment.) This Kata bag is much trimmer, lighter, and would do a better job of the day to day real street use IMO. I might give one a try... but I'd like to see if the local shop has one so I can try it on again with computer, camera and portfolio to stuff in ... There's always another bag.

Re: OT - Another enablement
And it has the dichro head. You win! I've printed with a 606, but it had a condenser head on it, and a set of contrast filters. Not a bad little enlarger, but I never figured out how to get it to do a 6x7 negative (will it go bigger than 6x6?) -Mat On 11/20/05, Scott Loveless [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Scored myself a Durst 606! eekBay auction #7563320648 -- Scott Loveless http://www.twosixteen.com -- You have to hold the button down -Arnold Newman
Re: OT - Another enablement
The enlarger comes with an adjustable negative carrier. It works a lot like a printing easel. The carrier provided by Durst will handle everything from 8mm to 6x6. The really cool thing about the carrier is that it allows for cropping the negative right on the carrier, or for printing those trendy film markings. Printing a negative larger than 6x6 would probably require a bit of Arkansas engineering. I don't know if other carriers were ever available for this enlarger.

- Original Message - From: Scott Loveless Subject: OT - Another enablement Scored myself a Durst 606! HAR!! My first real enlarger was a Durst M301. A friend had the 601, and I was always quite envious. Yours was the next model of 6x6 enlarger after that. It won't take a larger neg than 6x6. Apparently, the Durst Neonon lenses were made by Pentax. William Robb
