    a burning question

    "Light is unaffected by gravity". Really? Ever hear of a "Black Hole"?

    sounds like it might be the enlarger head slowly creeping down. try pulling on the enlarger head after locking it down to see if its tight.

    Gentlemen . . . Really,

    Get a grip here.

    Gravity ALWAYS wins!

    However, film is sensitive to thought.

    Man, that old light/gravity thing will get you if you're not careful. I always store my film holders standing up in "portrait" orientation. Sometimes light settles to the bottom of the holder and fogs the film. So, always remember to open the flaps all the way and shake out the holder prior to loading, and everything's OK (or wash it out with heavy water). The lower folds of your bellows are real problem spots, too.

    Now, anyone seen the specs on those new gravitational lenses from Rodenstock?

    Shoot, I forgot....you can use dark matter to soak up the extra light, too (or just take it to a good quantum mechanic).

    Guys and Dolls,

    O boy! am I sorry that I made that remark about gravitational pull. Seems to be that not light alone is affected by gravitational forces......

    Chris: the horse that I would place my bet on is: thin but opaque D&B tools with sharp non-reflecting edges!

    Yes, the thinner B&D tools did the trick.

    I've already ruled out wobble, poor focus, gravity, etc. Thanks, everyone!
