There is some light sensor thing out there, I think zone 6 that could easily solve all of the problem. I have no problem with the little problem, I don't do a quick number of little six second exposures and expect them to match up, I don't do wallets for mass public consumption (say goodby to those high school seniors). With a little experience and intelligence the unit is more than workable. I think you'll find it in many of the most prestigious darkrooms (I'm now going to see if aristo has a website with appropriate hype). People who like stainless steel pots would not like cold lights, its more for people of the cast iron, aluminum or even copper variety. Mark :-) Rabiner
