Hi Sanders,
Are you using Tri-X now for your portrait work? I seem to remember
you using Neopan 400 but maybe I got it wrong, and that film has been
discontinued.
Any suggestions on a good film-developer combination?
Did they make the Ilfospeed head for several different enlargers?
Great work BTW - subversive or not. Hope you figure out the film /
print and other gear storage issue in the tropical climate down there.

Ken, Robert, Thor -- thanks, guys, for the kind words.We moved from
Manhattanto Boca Raton FL late lastyear -- my firm moved me down
here. At
first we bridled but have since come to appreciate life in the
tropics. The
best part of the move has been the house we found, with a big yard
full of
trees, and a darkroom to die for. (The previous owner was an
architect
and LF film photographer, and put both talents to work to create a
dream
darkroom.)
I largely laid aside my Rolleiflexes in the relocation,but am slowly=
starting to shoot again. We got the darkroom stocked and
operating, and
are printingagain, now in a space with running water (imaginethat!)
and
ventilation. Print exchange time?
We still have our NYC darkroom, so we had to hunt for new equipment
down
here. I found an amazing enlarger,an Ilfospeed 500 head on a D-
series Omega
chassis.After a life of printing with an Aristo head and filters,the
Ilfospeed is a godsend, with electronic controls for time and
contrast.
nbsp;Has anyone else on the listprinted with the Ilford head?....
