Same here. I have a couple old lenses and a Speed Graphic. I should learn the Vandyke Brown process. What do you use for exposure? Lights? Plate burner? Sunlight?

[adamc]

Thanks guys, I'm still a novice in the alternative processes, but learn more each time I make prints - taking copious notes helps me a ton.

Wayne - I started out making them using sunlight, but there are just way too many variables, so I built a table with an exposure box underneath. It has 3 flourescent banks (6 bulbs) using BLB lights, exposures are usually between 5-8 minutes. It works really nice - I cut and coat the paper on the top, and expose underneath, and is plugged in to a Gralab timer so I just set the time and walk away.

Thanks! I could handle that.
