Standard gear was "portable" darkroom, transmitter, black plastic sheeting and lots of duct tape. Oh yeah, 40lbs of camera gear, and a change of clothes or two. The Durst 300 and 600 series enlargers were popular until we had to start printing color on each job, then we used a compact Fujimoto. If you think B&W in a hotel room is fun, try processing and printing color..... makes you REALLY appreciate a digital Nikon. cheers Scott ___________ Scott Stewart The Greenville News 305 S.
