1. rework my technika->burke lens board adapter. need to spend more time on it. mine works, and i am proud of it (see above photo) but it seems to have bloated after i painted it. i realized my 4×5 lenses had enough image circle for 8×10. yowz.. i definitely want an adapter like this. i should put the 4×5 away and keep the 3420TXP box out on the desk. after all, i never met a contact print i didn’t like.
2. ektars. scott planted the notion in my mind. 12-14″, f6.3, sync.. what’s not to love? the old font on the old synchro shutters is cool too.
3. universal lens holder for the packard.
4. a leaner 8×10? every seems to love the old kodak 2d. deardorffs are well known and possibly overhyped. most everything else is so expensive. should i research?
5. goya. maybe i need to designate a day of the week to be darkroom night. i have a large backlog of exposed film again..
oh, while i am at it..
6. rent a powerful light and test. i want more than 240 w-s.
7. need wider paper. and something to hold it up (as opposed to duct-taping it to the wall).
