Digital BW, The Print

I looked. I was amazed...that anyone would even consider buying this. It
appears that Devere has a warehouse full of 504 chassis and thought that
this might extend their life. 
IMO one of the dumb ideas of all time. The introduction of an optical
system is a bad idea. The lcd panel which gets enlarged is a really
silly idea. This ranks right up there with one of my all time favorites
from 20 years ago..."The Beamscope" which was a plastic fresnel panel
with a frame and support structure that one placed in front of their
television (when screens were small) and it magnified the image (with
really slick edge distortions.)
The intelligent integration of technology (i.e. digital back on a medium
or large format camera) can be an excellent idea. This isn't.

I was interested to see DeVere has apparently produced a digital
enlarger -
nice melding of technologies.
