pentaxuser said:Can I take it that you mean the RH Designs Analyser Pro can be bought for half the price of the Splitgrade(Heiland Electronic)? So, if my assumption is correct then a Splitgrade is almost £500. What does it do better than the RH designs that justifies twice the price.

RH Designs said:The SplitGrade is more automated. It uses a motorised filter module with Heiland's own filters, so as a result the need for calibration is minimised because the filter and enlarger characteristics are known. It's a great machine for churning out good quality prints with minimal hassle, but the Analyser offers more flexibility and insight into the negative. It's like the difference between an automatic camera (Heiland) and a hand-held spot meter (RH). Convenience vs control! The higher level of automation contributes to the cost difference.
We sell the Heiland product alongside the Analyser and ZoneMaster - our FAQ has more info about the differences. www.rhdesigns.co.uk/darkroom/html/faq1.html
