hmmm...I disagree. I prefer longer exposures. I feel that 20 seconds is the minumum. If you need to burn or dodge, or use split filtering, you need those long exposures just so you have time to get in there and do what you need. If you have a short exposure and you're trying to to burn, you end up with choppy lines on your print. I am also of the opinion, that you don't get as much detail with a quick print....but I'm rather anal retentive that way.DocFrankenstein said:The timer is a nice thing to have. It allows you to open up the aperture and make printing faster.
But you can always stop down and expose around 30 seconds or so... and it's gonna be just as good.
I don't have that long of an attention span...I'll use a timer.mysteryscribe said:...after a few years I could look at the negative on the base of the enlarger and tell what it needed....
If I wanna dodge/burn I'd stop down and increase the time for sure.Efergoh said:hmmm...I disagree. I prefer longer exposures. I feel that 20 seconds is the minumum.

If you're making a straight print, then sure, quick is fine.
As you can probably see, your point does not contradict my point and hence there's no reason to disagree.
