Hi All, Shawn/Janis,
Well, I think I'm going to take the plunge and start rolling and washing
my own BW stuff...showed the better half the math and by X-Mas will have
a bulk loader and some Ilford HP-5 >;) better yet will have a Beseler
tank and some Diafine to get a hold of those rolls I insist on pushing
>;)>;)
I won't have an enlarger for some time and am wondering what kind of
light source would be suitable for making proof sheets(contact sheets)?
I can rig up something out of glass and wood that will hold the film
against the paper, but don't know what kind of light/time needs to be
applied to the emulsion sandwich to make it work. Any help of any sort
will be appreciated.
TIA
