Here's my thing:


I picked this up off craigslist a couple of years ago. It came with 3 lenses (50, 90, 150mm,) some film holders (35mm slide, 6x6, 6x4.5, 4x5,) timer, filters (b&w and color,) and trays. I don't shoot 4x5, but some day I'd like to and use this thing to its full potential. You can even mount the enlarger horizontally to project onto a wall! :getin: Buuut I've no means of developing large sheets of paper..

I have done c-prints before with the RA4 kit, papers (which I have about 200 sheets sitting in draws somewhere) filters and eternal darkness.

That's awesome. I've been thinking about doing RA4, but I've yet to setup my enlarger so I don't have a workflow. I might just get myself some yellow LEDs around 590nm, wire 'em up and see if I can use indirect light to help me out while printing.

I'd say the hardest part is getting used to your setup/routine and getting into the rhythm (particularly if you've never done it before or haven't done it in a while.)

For safelights, I bought these and they work really well. They're discontinued, but the store has these which look like they'll work just as well, if not better.

Unrelated, I seem to have "misplaced" my pack of 8x10 and 11x14 paper when I moved apartments. Money down the drain. :smith: Well, they were RC paper, so I guess this is a good time as any to switch to FB and give that a shot. :v:
