It's a Durst AC 800, which is like an M805, but with computer-controlled color-correction and density control. It was a huge switch from using a Durst M605 dichro enlarger - the AC 800 uses density instead of exposure time as its primary factor (and it autocompensates for enlarging head hight). You can see exposure time in seconds, but it is better to think in filter units (30 units = one stop). It's a lot like Mr. Spock's console, but once you figure out how to set it up the exposure compensation for B/W multicontrast filters (not really what it is designed to do - which is high-volume automatic color printing), it becomes a veritable machine with RC paper. This shot was on TMY. Dante On Tuesday, February 18, 2003, at 10:02 PM, Mike Durling wrote: > My goodness, a PHOTO! > > This is the kind of place I would like to shoot.
