Digital BW, The Print

Larry,

I completely understand. I sold the Condit punch and pin bars to a fellow on
Ebay. I think I got twice what I paid for it. I had all sizes from 35mm to
8x10. Never looked back, and never want to go into the dark again. My idea
of having fun is not to spend the whold night and day in the darkroom. Now,
with the compurt on, the Epson 7k humming and a bit of jazz, the evenings
are a relaxing pleasure.

Mike

Hi AZ:

Thank you very much for this info.  Now the only question is, which brand?

I see about 10 choices including:

Durst, Devere, Elwood, Fotar,HK, Hope,Kodak,Nord,Omega and Paterson

Paterson in 4x5 is least expensive-$30. and the most expenive is Nord/Kodak 
at $45.

Thanks a lot,

Andy Darlow

I had a  3 x 10 in. piece cut to size for my pans. It's good for doing a
long strip of 35mm or 120 film. A 4 x 10 might be a good choice for you.  I
don't know if some of the ones made for enlargers have rounded or angled
corners or how big over 4 x 5 they are, etc.  although it wouldn't matter I
suppose.
