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.
