AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Offered here is a Durst M605 black & white photo enlarger — a well-built and popular model among analog photography enthusiasts thanks to its sturdy construction, smooth mechanics, and compact footprint.

Important note:
Several components are missing, as indicated by the expert. The enlarger cannot be used for printing in its current state unless these parts are sourced by the buyer.

Included in this lot
• Durst M605 enlarger head with adjustable column (height scale visible)
• Bellows in good condition
• Working lamp housing that powers on and projects light
• Durst baseboard
• Fully working red safelight filter
• Meopta enlarging easel with centimeter and inch scale

Missing components (as confirmed by expert)
• Diffusion box
• Film holder / negative carrier
• Objective (lens)

These items are required to make enlargements; they are not included.

Condition

The mechanisms that are present (height adjustment, focus movement) operate smoothly. Cosmetically, the unit shows normal signs of age but remains a solid, well-preserved example of Durst craftsmanship.
This set is ideal for collectors, restorers, or darkroom users who already have spare parts or wish to complete the enlarger themselves.



Shipping

Carefully packaged for safe transport. International shipping available at cost.

Seller's Story

Welcome to Bullfrog Skateshop! Although my shop specializes in skateboards and everything related to skating, trading and selling is actually my hobby. In addition to my love for skating, I have a great passion for furniture, art and gaming related products. On Catawiki I offer a wide range of lots that range from vintage furniture and unique works of art to rare gaming memorabilia. I enjoy finding these special items at flea markets, auctions and from private collections. My expertise lies in recognizing the value and story behind each object, which makes for a compelling and dynamic collection. So, whether you're looking for a mid-century chair, an exclusive painting or that one rare game you've been looking for for years, Bullfrog Skateshop has you covered. Feel free to take a look at my selection and who knows, you might find something special for your collection!
