Digital BW, The Print

You would think there might be a market out there if someone would come 
out with an affordable color/bw enlarger head that accepts digital 
files and we can all get back into the darkrooms for a while. I know 
the DeVere 504 exists but at $30,000. Something that would fit on an 
old Omega or Besseler chassis. Come on, anyone! I'd pay at least $1000 
for one just to smell fixer again.
