Omega A6 enlarger

[Gerry M]

Does anyone have experience with this enlarger? It is a fairly scarce professional model for 35mm only. Any valid reasons not to buy? Info is limited on the net.
Thanks,
Gerry

No experience with the A6, but used the B22 for years, with pleasure. Being scarce, parts might be an issue. I now have the D2, which I picked up off craigslist for a song. A very good site for enlarger information is:

Larry, I used to have the Pro Lab version of the B22. I did some mining on Ollingers site. A good resource. Also KHBphotografix has good info. Just the A6 info seems lacking. It uses a little bit different lighting arrangement: a ceramic reflector, along with the condensers. The same person that is selling the A6 has a D2, but my space is too limited for that one. Thanks for your input.
