The Freestyle catalog that recently arrived shows the Holga enlarger,
set up for MF at $110 - including the lens! They also sell at kit
which includes the Holga enlarger with both 50mm and 75mm lenses as
well as lensboards, appropriate negative carriers etc. for $139.
To put this in perspective, the list price for a 6x6 negative carrier
for my enlarger (a Beseler 45) is $148.

Like I said, pricey:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=29985&item=3806170580&rd=1
(Tower enlarger w/carrier, lensboard, lens - went for $0.99)
and lots more to chose from for $1.00 to $10.00 - all with plenty of flair and
fuzzies, I'm sure.

What for would anyone buy a _new_ negative carrier?

And you can get a good, used Elwood with lenses and carriers
for about $100. Beseler 23CII or Omega D2 for about $125. Durst for
M600's for around $175.
