Zeiss Ikon Enlargers and Darkroom
for Contax
Both Leitz and Zeiss realized that the success of the 35mm system would depend upon high quality
equipment for developing and enlarging the small negative. Zeiss apparently did not resume production
of darkroom equipment after the war, and their enlargers were never as well built as the ones from
Leitz. They were a lot more visually interesting, though.

A fixed focus, fixed size self contained enlarger. This one is in rough shape, and you'd have to be a
braver man than I to try plugging it in.
