Ryuji,
I was just responding to what he wrote. Except that he didn't specify which
filter he would use to expose the highlights, sounded like split printing to
me.

"I am going to take one more stab at this before going the digital
route.
My plan, after having read your kind posts and talking with some
friends is to:
1) Make a test strip using 5 filter to get blacks and note the time.
2) Expose the paper with this time and then make a second
exposure/test strip to get highlights.
I will stop the lens down as much as possible and then go from there.
If that fails, I am going to try to pre-flash (which I have never
done). If that fails, I'll go digital *sigh*.
Thanks again,
J"
