With another stimulus check coming, I'm thinking of purchasing a densitometer. I have a Tobias that I bought inexpensively years ago. While it's "accurate" within a range of densities, I value it mostly for comparative measurements only.
What is a good, accurate, used, transmission densitometer to purchase for use with black and white film? (Not color.) Perusing EBay, XRite 301 models seem to stand out. Another is the 810 series, which were used with so many of the mom and pop. retail film and print processing units.
Are there any sellers or retailers that are known for selling reliable equipment? Of course, any that I purchase will be checked with a recent, Stouffer's test strip.
Among darkroom equipment, having a good, functioning densitometer is right up there in importance with my enlarger. It's an essential tool for achieving the kind of black and white results that I like.
