Ah, another convert to the force! Yepper, all of us have made the same wee oopsies such as leaving the dark slide out, shutter open, etc. Not to mention forgetting to load film in the holders before going out for the definitive photograph of all time. Or back in the good old days, loading the film and the black interleaf paper into the holder. You should be able to find an Omega D series enlarger in good condition for not too much money or a Bessler 4x5. My old D-2 is still working just fine. ============================================================================================================= To unsubscribe from this list, go to www.freelists.org and logon to your account (the same e-mail address and password you set-up when you subscribed,) and unsubscribe from there.
