RE: [Largeformat] Converting a camera to an enlarger



From: "Frank Filippone" <red735i@earthlink.net>

I disagree.... I would expect the fans to cycle....

Focus: Light and Fan ON
Expose: Light ON; Fan OFF..... Maybe a thermostat used as  a warning of
increased temp on long exposures.....
Rest: Fan ON ( Temperature controlled, crudely with a thermostat)
Manual Control of Fan with Thermostat as backup
