Intrepid Enlarger - Kickstarter Underway

Intrepid camera company kicked off its enlarger program yesterday at the following link. They fully funded in about half a day and are closing in on 300% of the goal. The project creates an enlarger back for a 4x5 camera and can be had with 35mm, 120 and 4x5 negative carriers. In case you don’t already have one, the top package even includes a 4x5 camera. £399 for a camera and enlarger set up that will print all 3 formats noted above is a pretty good deal.

This makes great use of space and can even be a traveling darkroom set-up. I like the way you can use your 4x5 camera to shoot the negative, then enlarge & print it. About all you have to add to the kit is enlarger lenses (although your LF 150 lens will work fine for 4x5 prints) and contrast filters. 50mm (for 35mm) & 80mm (for 120) enlarger lenses can be had very economically on the used market.

That's quite a piece of equipment. I wonder if there's a large enough market to make a profit.
