    Re: Darkroom sink plans

    I built my sink out of ply, and then took it to the local speed shop and had it sprayed with a high quality truck bed liner. Impervious to chems, never needs re-coating, looks sharp.

    Problem With Ebony Universal Belows

    The uni bellows on my Ebony tends to vignette when using an 80mm lens with significant rise. Has anyone else experienced this? Do I need to spend the $$ on a bag bellows?
