Elias,
Have you experience with Efke 100? I have 10 9x12 cm sheets of this to
develop. All were exposed using 100 ISO.

Elias,
I quote this from the Aristo website:
"Highly diffused rays suppress dust rather than magnify it. Without
sacrificing sharpness the unique quality of cold light helps eliminate dust,
scratches and other surface blemishes."
For the rest of the reasons to switch to cold light, check out
http://www.aristogrid.com/cold_light_heads.htm
It does work. I have a Zone VI lamp with the compensating timer on my
Beseler 45MX 4x5" enlarger. Aristo mentions a lamp for the D601 series -
perhaps this would work with your enlarger.

I guess I'll stop loading them in the dark box, and do it in my
darkroom.

I'll have to do a little more research on the cold light... I wonder
if it will fit my my Durst 605.
Dust on the neg during enlarging isn't too much of a problem for me.
Do you mean the diffuser will actually help to hide the clear
(unexposed) areas in the film, that the dust caused during exposure?
