thermometer for those of us starting to play the trombone...
Ok, the eye doc cracked a few jokes at my expense during my last checkup. Asked me if I play the trombone?...Uh no, why? You know when you read, she then made the sliding motion with her hand and trying to get a book into focus and told me to start considering BI-FOCALS :eek:
So there I said it, getting old. On top of that, I need to purchase a few darkroom thermometers...any suggestions out there from those already afflicted with crappy short vision? :rolleyes:
Denial...just not a river in Egypt.

are you sure? what did she look like? could you really SEE her?
Re: thermometer for those of us starting to play the trombone...
vague silhouette, 'looked' good took a chance, my suggestion dont do it. Dont f*ck with Karma, her sisters Luck and Fate are usually very close and you just dont need that type of exposure.

If you buy a digital thermometer make sure it has a quick update frequency, i made a mistake buying a Kaiser from Freestyle and it only updates every 9 seconds unless you push a button for a 3 second update frequency. The Kaiser thermometer has the sensor probe attached with a wire so in order to use the 3 second update one basically need to use both hands, not very userfriendly and not recomended.

Kev,
Thanks will take a look, do you use this thermometer?

Jan,
Thank you for the vote of no confidence. I was looking at the Kaiser, just didnt want to drop $90. Been looking at the big dial analogs and of course found a digital at B&H but out of stock.
Hunt continues.

Erick, yes I use one and I'm very happy with it. When I bought it I placed both the digital thermometer and my trusty old mercury thermometer into a beaker of (random temperature) water and both were in complete agreement with each other at 24.8*c.
In fact both thermometers remained in complete agreement with each other all the way down as the temperature gradually fell to 18*c.
Its actually built to be dishwasher safe so its very robust and can safely be used for stirring chemistry.
Dr Richard Ross of RH Designs is the guy who designed and manufactures the well respected range of StopClock f-stop Enlarger Timer's. He's great to deal with to.
BTW the digits on the readout measure 8mm in height, so quite large for the dimming eyes of an old fart;-)
One more thing theres a ''Full two year guarantee, plus 14 day refund if you are not completely satisfied'' with the product!
