gbunton is right. Listen to a pro. I shoot for fun, and although I love it, I have no client, no master, no judge except myself. For years I worked with temporary darkrooms. The worst was a closet-I could only print in the middle of the night. Now I have a permamnent set-up and it's no accident that my prints are the best (I think) I've ever made. It's about time and committment. Learning printing, learning Zone, are all so much easier when you can devote time to it.
Holy God! I only just realised- a darkroom is just like a woman. Give her your attention, spend lots of time with her, and things will go well. Boy, are you in line for some fun. BUT, neglect her and things are gonna be miserable. So, Norm, get printing, but treat your baby right!
By the way (if you don't mind) what flavour of physicist are you??
