Opps thats a screw up then......I figured I needed the dark room matt black. The one i did my darkroom class in was Black??Why are you painting it dark? You want it light (beige is good), except possibly right behind the enlarger.

It's quite possible your classroom darkroom was black. When there are multiple printing stations, having black surfaces makes sense. It helps reduce the chances of stray light from another enlarger affecting your paper. In an individual darkroom, lighter surfaces make for a more comfortable environment ( though the advice to paint the area behind your enlarger black is a good one).
If you have running water available to rinse off your nitrile gloves, they are a great choice.Tongs are for mugs or experts (phew, that shouldn't get too many people offended!)
yes I have....and loving every minute ......well most of themYou have come a long way since bashing film as an option in the Leica forum a few years back.
Enjoy it, film is a great journey.
The largest enlarging lens I've worked with is a Wollensak 135mm for 4x5 enlargments. Looks like he has an 8x10 so you'll need something bigger.The sizes you mention are large prints. Two thing to know. You will need neg carriers that hold film flat. This means at least top side glass or better both and the top needs to be anti newton glass. Second, enlarging lenses are made for size ranges and you will need the ones made for large prints. Unfortunately I have forgotten what they are.
