Hi,
Since getting back into analogue 35mm photography during the lockdown, I have been developing C41 & B&W at home with some successes and scanning the negs with a V500 Epson.
A few months ago I was gifted an Axomat 4 B&W enlarger (without the filters?) and Santa bought me trays, chemicals, microfocus etc.
Included was a pack of Ilford Multigrade RC Dulux ... my question is how do I work out the exposure times and do I need the filters that did not arrive with my old style enlarger?
There is a purple filter gel in the carrier and I have managed to set up the size and focus on a negative.
My darkroom is light-sealed (thanks to some channels I designed and 3D printed for the blackout blind and some black tape on the power lights of various devices.
Thanks In Advance
