I forgot to say that - to me - the sense in using smaller strips of paper (and not using a strip-printing gadget) is that you can choose the areas of the image that are most informative with respect to highlights or shadows. Otherwise, you end up with what might have been the perfect exposure falling on a desert of uninformative mid-tones. Personally I'm not convinced about the value of analysers, but I have never had the opportunity to try one.

Hmm should we analyze that?

Beestonite, I personally wouldn't buy one but Many years ago, I'm sure I paid over $1k for my Zone VI vc 4x5 head and compensating enlarging timer. It's still working. You've got to start somewhere!

And you got to use it rather than fritter your time away looking to save money. Many loose track of the important by product.

I could be in zone 5, or 00, maybe even 11 who knows.

Bye the way I fully intend to enjoy myself.!!! Trying as a newbie to narrow down the frustration of failure

You can’t fail, except perhaps to meet some standard you set yourself. It’s basically bucket chemistry.

Beestonite,

Did you say you bought an analyzer and it's due to arrive today?
