My x wife was moving last October and leaving my prize shed behind, so I went round and dismantled it as it was to good an opportunity to miss, haven't got the space indoors.

Pretty cool! I hope you'll manage to get a satisfactory vent system too.
May I ask you, why twin enlargers? BTW, I didn't know that Rollei made enlargers at all, seems to be top notch,

Cheers,

Renato

I have 2 enlargers as one is set up for 6x6 and the other for 35mm, there is a different light box for 35mm and as I picked the second one up for less than £10 it made sense.
I do have ventilation by extractor fan which is not shown and has no light leakage, as there is no proper revolving door I also sectioned off an entrance, so I have basically a double entrance in an attempt to avoid outside contamination.

The RDE 67 enlargers are very good and very well engineered, and as the model states will print negs upto 6x7, also has a standard 39mm screw mount, so most lenses dont need adapting. They also make a Rolleimat enlarger but I do t know much about those, think they are basic black and white type s with filter drawers.

Looks great, very well organized.

I also like the shed. it looks good inside and out.
