Tom Grimm. It's a prety good all-rounder, along with Suess' "Mastering Black-And-White Photography: From Camera to Darkroom". In addition to one of these, I'd definitely get "The Film Developing Cookbook" by Anchell and Troop (the most used book of any I own - it's got film/dev times, as well and the best time/temp chart for the US), as well as either "The Photographer's Master Printing Course" by Rudman or "Black and White: Photographic Printing Workshop" by Tarrant and Bartlett. The Adam's books are pretty good too, though a little dated IMHO. tv - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
