Hi Subash
Welcome to the *ist DS alumni - I'm sure you'll like it.
Nice compositions in your photos - I like the way you've used the palm frond as
a frame but perhaps the top of the concrete plinth (?) is a little cluttered.
The flower photo is also well composed but could be a bit sharper.

Hi,
Finally decided to start experimenting with BW with a home darkroom.
Bought an enlarger Philips PCS2000, with EL-Nikkor 50f2.8 at a price I hope
I won't loose too much if I sell it again. Has tri-one color head for
variable contrast and timer. Found plenty of info on how to use it. Durst
is wickedly toxic.
Have fun!

Hi
Good luck Erwin!
Beware of faulty contrast correction caused by XP2 or similar films, as they
tend to get a pinkish cast, which makes them work something like
contrast-control filters (like Ilford Multigrade).. Ask for a film type with
no or little purple cast...! I use Ilford Multigrade

I've never heard this, could you elaborate?
As I understand it, dilute acetic acid is exactly the same stuff as in
Important point - I use vinegar only for stopping PRINTS -

Ok, I'll take the contrary view.
If you think you're going to take more pics if you grab those lenses,
then just do it. Forget the "bigger is better" weenies.
Wait, that didn't quite sound right.
Just shoot some damn film, and do it as often as you can.
