THAT is a pity.  It is the LF b&w that I'm primarily worried about.  I am 
interested in resuming making silver prints from LF, plus experimenting with 
platinum and palladium.  I realize that for the latter it will be contact 
printing.  Since I only have 4x5 though and have no real desire (at least at 
this point) to go to 8x10 (though the new Cooke Triple Convertible XVa makes a 
good case for going 8x10!), does anyone have any experience making very high 
quality 8x10 (or larger) internegs?  Given that platinum paper requires such 
long exposure times as to make traditional enlarger prints impractical, would 
there be any economically feasible way of using a high intensity light source 
for a 4x5 enlarger, e.g. a pulsed/flash source?
