I wished myself a happy Christmas by buying a new Minox LX, thanks

partially to Martin and this forum. Enlarger's on the way, oh boy. Happy

NewYear, all.

Ron, happy new year.

A Minox enlarger is essential tool for Minox photography, other

35mm enlarger can do the work too, but Minox enlarger's illumiation system is very efficient, particularly in enlarging 8x10" prints,only

a couple of seconds exposure vs much longer time with 35mm enlarger.

A Minox daylight development tank is also highly recommended, it

is a time saver, because you can load film in day light without

struggling in darkroom. Minox daylight development tank was discontinued, but you can still buy them on ebay.

<p> Minox LX has accurate light meter, you will get correctly exposed negatives.

<p>However, you will encounter many problems on the way, such as dust and scratches--- these can be solved with careful handling--

yes, Minox negative need more care than larger formats ----

When you get your first sucessful 8x10" enlargement, which looks

as good as from a Leica camera, you will become a die hard fan.

Then then danger will be you may be itching to buy more and more

Minox cameras.
