Hi Eric
I have one more question; what enlarger do you use? It will of
course come down to your personal taste for grain, contrast, and how
you like to print
I have a wonderful Durst M605 (and a charming 606 which I hardly
use). I have a color head and a condenser head, a Nikkor 50/2.8 and
Rokkor 80/5.6. Sometimes I use very old Schneider Kruznach Componons,
a 50/4.5 and 80/5.6. I really haven't noticed any difference between
these lenses - maybe because they're all good. The 50mm Componon has a
bit of haze in it, but I haven't noticed that either. If it's possible
to describe this to you, I like more contrast rather than less
contrast. I have nothing against grain at all, sometimes I like a lot
of it, other times I want it to behave and stay back, but I don't want
it to disappear.
Some examples:

Lately I've been thinking of photographs that read more like drawings.
In fact I'm coming to realize that maybe that's what I've been after
for some time.
I used to draw a lot, and I just don't have time anymore, and
photography is more fun (to be honest).
