[Leica] darkroom focusing

[vintagebill at verizon.net (bill h)]

Well we could get into the man-who-has-two-thermometers thing, but I solve 
it by using the bestwell for looking around the edges of the image, and for 
gross adjustments, and for extreme enlarger settings, and the fine focusser 
for the final adjustment on bits of grain or the fraction of an edge just 
before making the print. the fine focusser rules. i think they agree pretty 
much, I am just more comfortable with what I can see in the fine focusser.
