What do people feel about the various C-41 chemicals? I'm likely
just going to order the kit from Fotochem but would the Kodak chemicals be

I've made my first attempt at B&W reversal processing using the
Celer Reverser kit with Ilford Delta 100.  For a first go I was pleasently
surprised, however things are not quite spot on, not unexpected for
a first go.

I've done a lot of searching in this newsgroup, but cant find the
answers.  I purchased a Beseler 23c Series II enlarger on Ebay.  It
doesnt seem to have all of the parts.  And I'm not sure what parts I'm
