Up to a few weeks ago, I used a 60 watt tungsten bulb in a reflector shining over a piece of angled clear plexiglass on the back of my darkroom's sink to judge my wet prints coming out of the fixer. Have been always doing it this way since the 1980s. Then came across a Graphiclite PDV print viewer with Sidewalls on that auction site at a reasonable price with shipping included. Bought it and mounted it above my sink. Was a pain to fit it in the space. After using it a several times for judging both FB silver and Platinum/Palladium prints (have to ultra gentle handle the wet Platinum/Palladium prints, but is 100% doable), it is many times better than the 60 watt tungsten bulb in a reflector that I previously used for all these years.
