Looking at my personal processing/printing history
(specifically, the characteristics of negs developed differently over time)
it would seem that one might develop for a slightly higher contrast for
contact printing than currently done for enlarging?

I did the contact prints last night.
While the mid tones were pleasing the complete lack of information was
disappointing.  I might as well have used Plus-X or Acros in 4x5!
There would have been more detail.

2) I am driving from Toronto to Houston from March 12 to about March 17. If
anyone is along the route and would like to hook up - please email me. Would
be neat to meet some of you.

I've been slowly building a 6x17, and am having problems tracking down
suitable focusing helicals for my lenses, primarily I want to use my Nikkor
90 F4.5, Rodenstock 150 Sironar W 5.6 and Schneider Xenar 300 F5.6. All of
them are fairly large lenses so I need focusing helicals ...
