I never calibrated a film/developer combination; just used the general theory loosely, metering with an incident meter and developing by inspection. Maybe I'm closer to Dr. Ted in philosophy and practice. Haven't ever calibrated a monitor either. ;~) Alan Alan Magayne-Roshak, Senior Photographer UPAA POY 1978 University Information Technology Services University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee amr3 at uwm.edu http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/
