I think the ancient ones work very well.  At least I hope so because I =
have
just bought one in a flea market.  Its an enormous Liesgang 5x7 and built
like a brick whatnot. =20

The flurry of darkroom building right now, instead of in the winter when
any sensible person would have done it, is caused by two things.  One, my
discovery of a full Ansel Adams type Zone exposure and printing course on
the web.  It took an age to down load it but it has fired me up to get =
that
ultimate print.  Two, after research, I consider that only black and white
chemical prints will survive the digital colour darkroom.  Keep the faith.
