Yes, I have used such a unit and it worked very well. However, I
agree with Ed Stander's remarks about buying one on ebay. High
quality densitometers are selling on ebay at this time at such
remarkably low prices that there is little if any practical incentive
in going to the trouble of adapting or building one. The death of
photography as we know it, i.e. shift from wet processing to digital
photography, is putting hundreds of the wet processing labs that made
use of densitometers out of business, the result being that high
quality units are available at very attractive prices. This won't
last forever, however, so if you need a densitometer you should
consider looking at ebay now.
