DESCRIPTION:
Technical -- Advanced Covers virtually anything do do with black and white processing. Provides all the 'How To" so lacking in other books. Does not omit non-Ilford developers, but includes charts for them as well. But the book is certainly for the serious ameteur or pro, and is very technical. I really need the data provided on a daily basis, so the techical aspects don't bother me -- they're a plus! But others may find the book too much and wish simpler explanations. I'm biased here.. Great overview of black and white enlargning and developing This book is a manual of b/w photography in the whole. The book is filled with useful information on how to develop your films and create good enlargements and also has a good storing and caring instructions for your precious films and photographs. Useful procedures like knifing and toning is also covered. The book contains information on various tools, like "the difference between diffuser and condenser enlargers" and many more. Great book for every b/w enthusiast.
