I'm a beginner photographer just started building my own darkroom. Can anyone give any suggestions as to the best b&w enlarger, or should I just forget it and stick with digital. This is one of my first photos, btw, feel free to tell me what you think. Camera = a fairly old Konica Autoreflex TC.

There really isn't a 'best' BW enlarger, since they basically do the same thing. What might make a difference though is the enlarging lens you use. I do all of my prints at school, where there's a variety of enlarging lenses, and the ones I end up liking best are the 50mm NIKKOR enlarging lenses. My suggestion is to try to get one that works on the cheap, since paying much more will only increase the convenience of it, and not the actual results, I don't think.
