[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 999311, member: 176704"] Absolutely, but also "master" of ABSOLUTELY NONE! - as will have been [B]abundantly[/B] clear from many of my posts on this forum (and MANY others!) .:( PS: FWIW, been interested in photography since my early teens - and I started with a "620" film format (!)folding Kodak which I tried to use for shooting planes at Farnborough airshows in the early 1960s. That lead me to get an early Praktika SLR and building my own darkroom and enlarger (made to drawings in a book from soldered--together large baked bean cans, some wood - including the neg carrier - a couple of steel plumbing pipes, & the lenses from my cameras as enlarger lenses! But it DID work!), which, in turn, got me into photochemistry, DX radio with an old superhet Rx, E&E engineering at uni, and then, finally, the regs & safety side of the electric/electronics industries where I, finally, found a "sort of" "career for life" (and quite a few other things out of necessity and lack of cash!). PPS: IIRC I think I did actually use, and later develop, Verichrome/Pan in the days I used the Kodak :) [/QUOTE]
