I used an Agfa lith-type stabilization paper. Put a vacuum board under the D-2, covered the paper with a half-tone screen, did a main and a flash exposure. Got sharpness that was twice as clean as PMT could pull off. Wouldn't go back to doing it that way for anything;^) Ric On Dec 16, 2006, at 10:37 AM, Lottermoser George wrote: > Sounds almost exactly like my early years.
