Used 35mm enlargers

These enlargers top out at a 24x36 mm frame. A 50mm lens is the usual match, and 40mm wide-angle enlarging lenses are sold for 35mm too, for bigger prints from the same column height. Some makers also made carriers for half-frame, 110 or Minox negatives. Check that the 35mm carrier in the photos is the one made for that model, because carriers don't swap between brands or even between series of one brand. If there's any chance you'll shoot 120 film later, a medium-format machine prints 35mm too once it has the 35mm carrier, a 50mm lens and the right condensers or mixing box.
