They do sell a 'Holga' enlarger, but it is pricey and it may work
too well to do a Holga negative (in)justice.

The Freestyle catalog that recently arrived shows the Holga enlarger,
set up for MF at $110 - including the lens! They also sell at kit
which includes the Holga enlarger with both 50mm and 75mm lenses as
well as lensboards, appropriate negative carriers etc. for $139.
To put this in perspective, the list price for a 6x6 negative carrier
for my enlarger (a Beseler 45) is $148.

And you can get a good, used Elwood with lenses and carriers
for about $100. Beseler 23CII or Omega D2 for about $125. Durst for
M600's for around $175.

Used medium format enlargers and cameras are at an all time low, just
attended a camera show where I could have bout a Mamiya 645 got under $300,
med. format enlargers for under $100. 75 and 105 el-Nikkors for $60 bucks.

I'm wondering now if my local superstore's Fuji Frontier system could
scan
processed 120 film?

Send the developed film to a lab and don't think about bothering them
with
the rolls from a Holga. Ask them to make prints on a machine to keep
costs
down.

Sounds like prices are going up then. $60 for a 75mm?
