Of course, I >am assuming Mike will be printing Leica negatives, keeping this on topic. Gary, All collective wisdom gratefully accepted, but I have pretty simple tastes in darkrooms and I'm getting to be an old dog, so I more or less know what I like. Basically, I can set up a darkroom darn near anywhere, and do good work under darn near any conditions. But this darkroom is going to distill 20 years of working in, and taking care of, and writing about, other darkrooms. It will be simple, but very practical, and probably quite elegant. The darkroom equivalent of an M6. <s> You are invited to come visit it when I'm done--and by that time the "gallery" should be set up in my living room too. Not a collection, but a bunch of stuff left over after years of working in this field. > Congratulations! When will we see the photos (8X10 Zone system negs)? Ken, Nope. I do 35mm only, Tri-X only, in D-76 1+1, and full-frame prints out to the blackline on 8x10 and 11x14 paper. Leica M and Pentax SLR. That's basically all I do. I'm not into techniques. I'm into CRAFTSMANSHIP. And thanks for the congrats! - --Mike
