Today I had some hours in the darkroom with the new timer set-up.
And it's great to work with it, starting with a test strip you can find out wich the best exposure time it would be.
So only two sheets of paper for a nearly fine art print.
Of course it's the way to "work sheets" wich are the base of the rest.
But I enjoyed it very much, and stepping up or down in the main menu makes it easy to fine tune the print in f-stop steps.
Fortunately I found an old Samsung S4mini which no one uses any more, but for the f-stop app it works fine.

Using the De-Vere enlarger with 24VAC bulbs would be tricky with test strips. An 0.8 sec step to the next exposure time, because he has a mechanical shutter between bulbs and light chamber.
I'll test it and come back with results.
Yet I used my Fujimoto MD 90 for 6x6 prints.
