    Can someone please give me some details or links to the most diverse, high quality amateur enlarger. By diverse I want one that will do both b+w and colour and any size negs? Thanks

    Choice of enlarger lens is probably more important than choice of enlarger IMO. With good deals to be had on used lenes I'd recommend a six element lens such as a Rodenstock Rodagon, Schneider Componon or Nikon Nikkor lens.

    Most makes of enlargers are well built, Meopta, Durst, Devere & Kaiser are all good.

    Any colour enlarger can be used for colour and B&W printing.

    Where's the best place to source lenses from? I need to get one for 120mm film, as the original one with the enlarger has got lost in a move

    Try www.ffordes.com as they usually have used lenses. I have got many from them over the years and they are good to deal with.

    You'll need an 80mm lens for 645 & 6x6 and a 90mm for 6x7.

    For a new lens check out www.robertwhite.co.uk
