I have not used a Durst 605 but I have used older Durst enlargers & they are as good as any brand you can buy.Just make sure that the rack & gear for elevating the enlarger head is in good condition.It should last you a life time....or until film becomes obsolete!!

Hi

I have a 605 as well. Very flexible device but make sure to use high quality lenses. They are more important than the enlarger body IMO.

Indeed make sure all moving parts are smooth (up and down and focus) and check which condensor is used and that you have appropiate lenses.
