Great. There's nothing like a wet print for black and white images. I wish we
could see it.
If the print doesn't require any dodging or burning in, you might want to
try printing at f8 with that lens. As several people explained to me just
recently, a small aperture on an enlarging lens causes diffusion and a loss of
sharpness. I think the optimum stop for the 135/5.6 SC-S is f8.
