Simplest Tools Are Sometimes The Best

This is a $99 Elwood 8x10 enlarger currently on sale on eBay. I bet the right photographer could make great photos with this ancient beat up thing. I recently watched a video on Edward Weston's very sparse darkroom, this item would have been an absolute luxury for him. Sometimes the simplest tools allow the artist to concentrate on his craft more and create their best work (he writes after buying his 7th enlarger!).
