Hey Everyone,
So i wanted to put out a question to everyone on the list about enlarging
negatives. i'm sure this topic has been discussed endlessely, and i've read
some of the past threads, but information always changes so rapidly.
Lately i've been itching to make some of my 35mm and 120 negs into 8x10
and 11x14 negs. i've used my computer/scanner/printer trinity for a good
while, and i thought that i might give film negatives a go. so i found a
box of so-132, and i'm ready to get started. what i wanted to ask was some
basic questions [also, any tips anyone has]. first of all, making a test
strip? is it basically the same as i would making any other test strip,
esp. with an enlarger? same as silver gelatine? can anyone give me some
ideas of what times i should start with? and what fstop on my enlarger?
i know these are a lot of questions.
also, what does anyone know about possibly using a reversal process on my
negatives so i don't have to hunt down the direct duplicating film? is this
a viable option?
thanks,
