    Do you print color? If not I would advise an RH Designs-type of analyses for B&W.

    I am very familiar with the Jobo Analyzer you linked to and it is a very good one. For B&W it is overkill; in fact I don't use it anymore.

    For the record: the device linked in the opening post is the Jobo ColorLine 7000 analyzer.

    How about the Darkroom Automation meter/analyser/densitometer, also available for pyro negatives?

    Is it a durable thing?

    Thanks

    I like it.
    It's an Ipod-sized item, like a pocket calculator.
    Durable? I don't know, like a pocket calculator, you don't bounce it off the floor.

    Like the timer from DA, I'm happy with it.

    I like it, and it works for me. This is just a suggestion, not a commitment.

    The other ideas are worth just as much value to your wish-list.

    To determine filter settings I need 3or 4 samples without any analyser. Then the film is correctly determined. Some years ago I wrote an instruction guide concerning filter settings, but it is in German. Still Iīm rather proud of it. If anybody is interested I can try to publish it here or answer any questions.
    The fact is that you can combine from 150 settings of yellow and 150 settings of magenta a result of 22500 Combinations and only one is the right one.
    So nearly everybody stays in B&W. Thatīs a pity. Nobody will talk with me about colour printing

    cheers
