when i started learning about darkroom about 20 years ago,
i used the ansel adams trilogy camera/negative/print
as well as fred picker's zone vi workshop.  the latter
is a nice slim book, short on theory and long on specifics.
picker will be very direct: buy the beseler 45, use tri-x
and hc110.  so that's how i started.

the 67 is both a 35 and medium format enlarger.  

grade 5 refers to the contrast which will be reproduced
by the paper. 5 is the most contrasty grade, 0 the least.
