The affordable solution to 4x5 enlargers, the 4500-II is slightly smaller than the vaunted 4550XLG (also sold by Freestyle!), but doesn't come up short in performance. It combines a 200W EYA-type quartz-halogen lamp with dual filtration channels in one head. Channel one is calibrated
for Kodak Polycontrast IV RC and compatible papers (grades 0-5),
channel two is calibrated for llford Multigrade IV RC and compatible
papers (grades 0-5). Features include Saunders' own Memory-Lock white light system for easy focusing, and a permanent Neutral-Density (ND) filter for keeping constant exposure times. The 4500-II also takes interchangeable lenses of 50mm, 75mm, 90mm, 105mm, 135mm and 150mm, enabling printing from 4x5" all the way down to 35mm! Thus, it's the equivalent of several enlargers in one versatile package--ideal for the budget-minded photographer.
