Ifso, then you've probably not seen how very good condenser can be. You MUST reduceyou developing times from the "standard" Kodak times by about 25%; even better, use a compensating developer like Rodinal or Acutol (better) AND reduce your times by 25%. This will give a MUCH better result with the condenser than youcan get with cold light. Trust me.
