And, one of the things I truly treasure with contact printing is that the negatives just seem to print themselves! No extensive dodging/burning required, no special brew developers necessary to get just the right amount of contrast, minimal equipment needed, etc. Who could ask for more?

Very, very nice! I remember my first contact print, and the joy I felt, and continue to feel with every new one! Congratulations!!

Here is MY 'First Contact Print' done at East Ham Grammar School Photographic Society meeting in the Chemistry lab. It was a 120 rollfilm neg I borrowed as I am IN the photo aged about 16, foreground, holding paddle in white vest. It was Kodak 'Velox' processed in a home-made developer made up by the Chemistry Master.
