The print, the final result is the test of your whole enlarging system. Lens, alignment, stability (shake) and your light source if it's even or not. A nice magnifying device also helps you spot your prints. Mark Rabiner Portland, Oregon USA http://www.markrabiner.com - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
