I Just acquired a Minox enlarger
Hi,
I'm back in the darkroom after many years, and I'm a fan of Minox 8x11.
I just acquired a Minox 8x11 enlarger, and I will be happy to contact other Minox Enlarger users to exchange information and advice.
Question 1: How can I print on multigrade paper? where can I insert the filters? Do I have to use under-the-lens filters?
Question 2: My first attempts at printing resulted in very short exposure times, about 3 to 4 seconds. Is that the intended time? It seems very short for me, with no time for any burning-dodging action.
Question 3: the original lamp is not to be found anywhere. I'm using a C15 6v 21w lamp, and I found the best positioning for uniform illumination. Does anybody know of a better replacement bulb?
Thanks in advance for your patience...
