Results from last night's print session! Both my easel top and the Dektronics Printalyzer Enlarging Timer worked like champs! F-stop based dodging and burning? Yes please!

Look what arrived yesterday! It's a Printalyzer Densitometer from #Dektronics ! But don't I already have one of his excellent densitometers? I do! But this one is different. Look closely!

More info soon!

Using the test strip mode of the @dektronics Printalyzer Timer. I've been testing this for somewhere around a month now helping Derek with some feedback for the firmware. This thing is just fantastic! f-stop printing FTW!

Given my tease yesterday, here's another hint as to what Dektronics sent me yesterday. These are 2 H&D curves from the same test negative. What is the difference you might ask? Here's another hint: 510 Pyro.

Today is finally darkroom day! Been trying to get in there for over a week now. I'll be continuing testing of the Dektronics Printalyzer Enlarging Timer as well as testing my own 8x10 top for the 11x14 easel. And working on an Iceland print. Fun times!

I played some with a Dektronics Printalyzer Densitometer, a step wedge, and Fomapan 100. This is, essentially, the BTZS testing originated by Phil Davis.

I ran into two probs: reciprocity for the film exposure, and really exaggerated temperature sensitivity […]

I take it you're setting up a dark room? Hell yeah

I've got two Beseler timers, hard to justify getting a Dektronics one too lol. The digital timer's plugged into the enlarger and the analog clock has some play in it so I use it to time myself using the trays instead

I tested my paper and printing workflow and got some interesting curves. See alt-text for tech details.

Most interesting: grade 2 and 2.5 are virtually identical (except that grade 2 is denser). Grade 1.5 and 2 have […]
