I am currently building out my darkroom, 14 x 14 x 8 feet in a basement.
Gear-wise I am using a 45MX for 35mm, panoramic 35mm ( 24 x 65 ) and 6x6. I am projecting with 50 & 90 APO Rodagon's and a 150 5.6 non-APO Rodagon.
What I am hoping to do is build a drop table for as large as I can go without tilting the head, but need an idea for distance for when I do go larger then the table can handle and I am thinking of a moving vacum easel that either hangs from a track and folds when not in use or a dolly / moveable type.
If none of those are doable, a wall mounting ( easel ) situation might be an option....or would it be better to wall mount the D2....
I am not looking at getting into 30" roll paper until next year, but want to be thinking ahead if I can get away with a 30 x 30 square of it into the drop table for prints from 6x6.
I have dreams of doing 30" x 70" prints from XPan negs...
Any thoughts?
