They should change their name from Tech Support if they can't
do the job

I'm afraid it's true

On a related note, JUST finished my darkroom (aside from power fittings).

The Kaiser enlargers are superb. I've still got one with
a few heads (colour and multigrade) for up to 6x7 although
I haven't printed anything for a few years. It's still
set up in my makeshift darkroom.

For anyone looking for an enlarger that packs away you
won't get any better than a Kaiser. One bolt/knob holds the
column to the baseboard and even the head comes apart.
The 35mm B&W version is slightly smaller, but also rare.

According to the AP Test Report the 43mm LTD was the
best standard lens ever made, although I prefer to use
the A Series 50mm f/1.7 which handles just about any
job I throw at it superbly. I rarely use my 43mm.

Lately I've been going back to the A Series 50mm f/2.8
Macro because of it's very clear image at f/2.8....
not really any need to stop it down and the
fact that it focuses accurately like a micrometer at close
distances of around 1M.

If you search thus site..... somewhere there's a thread
that tells you what to name a CD or SD Card in order for it
to accept the update without the original. It seems the
update is complete and the installer just checks the
volume name.
