I heard it was good a while back to think in terms of "stops" as much as you can in the darkroom. So I have done that with my dodging and burning and i think it helps. Especially when you DONT change your F stop at a different magnification. Because it does not help to in your own head think about "hold 5 seconds on the face" as a matter of course. When five seconds could represent a half or a quarter or less, of a stop. Mark W. Rabiner :)
