RE: [Digital BW] Spectrometer or Densitometer?

2005-02-18 by Seth

If you ONLY want something for B&W, the densitometer would save you money.
And, there are a ton of used ones around.

When I say B&W only, that means you don't want to check for a tint in the
tones, though a color densitometer would do that to a degree.
