Enlarger is a Frankenstein creation, I think it started as a Vivitar. I got tired of the vibration, so I replaced the column with a piece of hydraulic shaft. Got tired of the head, replaced it with a Beseler, IIRC. Then the base wasn't to my satisfaction so I replaced it. Lenses are various El-Nikkors. There is also a 4x5 enlarger of unknown origin in a state of disassembly in one corner. Tanks and reels are a twenty-year accumulation of assorted stainless steel. Easel is a 4-bladed homemade result of frustration with a factory easel. Most of the B&W film I shoot (this month, at least!) is Techpan or HP5+. Developers on hand are HC-110 and Microdol. Papers are Ilford (and a shrinking hoard of carefully stored Oriental-glad its back!) This may all change, I am going to pick up some TMZ and TMax developer tomorrow, and try Eric's technique for TMZ @ 6400... Jim Colburn
