I only know what I've got access too, I'm hoping my other lab upgrades to the D Lab. Or the Noritsu, or the Frontier.. but I assume there's upgrade paths and they've got an Agfa already.. > Anyway, for the Agfa, all you have to do is purchase the right > carrier.

Does the carrier get reloaded each time you put another load of film in, or do you have to pull something out and reseat something different? In other words, with a B&W enlarger, if I switch from 135 to 120, I change my neg carrier, but then, I change it each and every time I put another strip of negs in.. However, if I opt to change the enlarger lens, I onlly have to change it ONCE, when moving from 135 to 120 (or back again). (yes, I know, you can use a longer lens to print smaller negs, but like, for simplicity sake!) -- http://www.infotainment.org <-> more fun than a poke in your eye. http://www.eighteenpercent.com <-> photography and portfolio.
