I'm having second thoughts about panalure, based on feedback from you
and others. I've never used it. I assume its fiber based and
relatively thin.
Differences in sizes between negatives is not an issue - this one was
easy to solve. I set up a slide in the enlarger, focus it, position
the image, then tape down the easel on the backboard, just leaving the
leaf free so I can slide film (or paper) in or out. While I'm doing a
set of negatives I *never* move either the enlarger or the easel, and
only touch the enlarger to change the filtration.
I've used half tone film, and like the results. However, its also
ortho and I still have that set of problems.
This list is great! You people have been very helpful and your
efforts on my behalf are much appreciated.
