Contact prints of b&w film
If you are a consistent and careful worker you will have a "constant"
minimum exposure time for each type of film that you contact print. A little testing will determine that time. Don't think of the materials and time you spend a "waste" but rather as a investment in your craft. I've said before that the most important piece of equipment for a darkroom is a big garbage can. -- darkroommike ---------- "Fabio BERETTA" wrote in message ... I would try tomorrow to make contact prints from a b&w 35mm film with the purpose of viewing the different photos (with a lens) before making the real larger print. I have arranged to have a glass to maintain the film in contact with the paper but now I have no idea of the exposure time and aperture (I will use the enalrger) to use. Since it is the first time I do a print I would like to avoid time and material waste. Anyone could help in identifying the correct exposure/aperture? Thanks, Fabio BERETTA Lecco - Italy |

: I would try tomorrow to make contact prints from a b&w 35mm film with the purpose of viewing the different photos (with a lens) before making the real larger print. I found that using a #0 filter helps even out the contrast between dense and thin negatives. Once you have found an exposure setting that works with the 0 filter, it will work for almost every roll of film, so make a note of it. Bob |
