Setting up, installation and calibration a unique 20x24'' LED horizontal enlarger in the Art of Foto darkroom, St.Petersburg.
Two years of work on the new enlarger in Wetzlar, the city of Leica. Then the transportation of this beast. And almost the entire last week Jürgen Heiland spent under or inside the enlarger, installing, setting up, connecting. As a result, we were able to make a quick test silver print from a 20x24'' negative. Everything is working! Amazing!
