Strengths: allWeaknesses: noneBottom Line: In my years in the darkroom, I have never used a more versatile and easy to use enlarger. The roller springs are great with the easy lock mechanism. Obviously the best enlarger for the price.

Strengths: High price, good specification, most functions easy and smooth in operation. Stays in alignment indefinitely.Tilt movements available for perspective correction. roller spring are weak.Weaknesses: In orginal shape supplied the blades in the four blade neg carrier do not move far enough apart to reveal the full 56 x 70 mm frame.This is easily fixed by dismantling the carrier and filing down the blades a little. which is a tension.
The image in the grain magnifier tends to move sideways slightly when focussing. This is not a big problem but is mildly annoying. then the spring is too weaks and does not support rapid jobs.Bottom Line: LPL ofJapan, this enlarger is marketed as the LPL C7700MX outside USA.
It is well designed, well made, versatile and reliable.So is 6700. If you never want to print larger than 6x7cm size this unit will cover all B&W and colour requirements in fine style. Easy to use with 35mm

Strengths: Price, Filtration
Weaknesses: focusing, modularityBottom Line: A fairly solid enlarger. Suffers from a slight difficulty in focusing, and lack of extra parts to customize. It would be nice if there was a way to extend the column. OTOH it isn't too hard to reverse it.
Good if you don't plan to make big prints too often.
