Re: densitometer



Tim,

For just a few measurements it is a lot of expense to purchase one. All
professional  photolabs will have one and if you run a reasonable amount
of business through one then they should be happy to accomidate a few
minutes of use. Many printers and all graphic arts service bureaus will
have one as well that you may get to use just by asking. Considering
that most labs and printers use sophisticated digital machines they may
have an old analog one collecting dust which would suit your zone tests
just fine. Used equipment is often available for cheap and "obsolete"
but functional equipment is often free.

Good Luck
Russ
