Paterson Universal 35mm Starter Kit & 50mm lens

We recommend the Paterson Universal Enlarger Starter Kit for absolute beginners to darkroom photography. The kit contains all the essential equipment for processing both black and white film and photographic paper.

At the heart of the kit is the Paterson Universal Enlarger. It accepts 35mm and 6x6cm negatives and is supplied (ready to go) with both 35mm & 6x6 glassless masks. Capable of enlarging up to 12 x 16 inch on the baseboard, the head can also be rotated through 90? for wall projection (and the production of larger prints or liquid emulsion shots). Equally, you can rotate the column for floor projection too.

It is supplied with a 50mm lens for 35mm work, but you may also want to add the 75mm version if you want to also work in medium format.
