I keep a notebook w/excruciatingly precise notes about neg #/image description
w/exposure sequence: basic exp; dodge/burn; filters, etc. That way I can
always (attempt to!) replicate the print at a later date.
Hah, the graded paper thing brings back a tough memory, when i first set up my
darkroom a few years ago I made this mistake, finally caught on after 1/2
package of paper that it was ME and not the cold-light source that was the
problem!
However, the stopping down the lens after checking focus thing is always
something of a concern for me, due to the DOF issues inherent in changing the
aperture. Even though my Schneider Componon-S has a separate lever to open the
aperture w/o using the f-stop ring, I always try to refocus as best I can once
I have stopped down.

Here's my list of errors I can't stop making:> Not stopping the lens back down
after checking focus.> Not taking the filter out for graded sheets, and
wondering why exposures are taking so long.> E.
