Hello Everyone,
I have been building a 8x10 enlarger to go along with my 8x10 camera. I
made the negative holder with two pieces of 1/4" glass. The glass slides
into a holder that replaces the back of my camera.

The light box I made out of 1/4" plywood, which houses 12 light sockets.
I set up the camera and light box with 60 watt light bulbs just to see
the image that it would project.

My problem is what to use to defuse the light striking the negative. I
have been trying to keep the cost of making this enlarger to a bare
minimum. I may have to add 4 more bulbs to the light box to keep the
light as even as possible in order to avoid hot spots on the projected
image.  I have entertained the idea of using a piece of ground glass as
a light defusing device.

Does anyone have any ideas on what to use that won't cost a fortune.
Phil McCourt
