Michael Hiles Posted May 4, 2008 Share #2 Posted May 4, 2008 I would be interested in some experience-based comment on the Splitgrade device. It looks like a great step forward - but it is not cheap and not common in North America. Cheers, Michael Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fotohuis Posted May 4, 2008 Author Share #4 Posted May 4, 2008 Cheap is nothing in a professional way, neither the Heiland Split Grade. However the system works in a very clever practical way. Every 3 year a new computer, a professional printer, a new DSLR is not cheap either. An M4-2 or M6 or M7 or MP and some lenses are not cheap either but normally they have a longer life expectation then 3 years or so. All enlargers with modular build modules are quiet easy to change for Split Grade printing: LPL/Jobo, V35, Dunco II 66/67, however a weak US$ makes every product from Europe a problem at the moment. http://www.fotohuisrovo.nl/documentatie/Split_Grade_Manual_V23_Englisch.pdf and the principle: http://www.fotohuisrovo.nl/documentatie/BasicSplitGradePrinting.pdf Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Michael Michael: I bought a Splitgrade for my Leic V35 a number of years ago and it was at that time much cheaper to order direct from Heiland than to go through the American Distributor. The Euro was as strong in those days though. Robert Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert - now that you have used the Splitgrade for some years, would you buy it again? Michael Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsteve Posted May 5, 2008 Share #7 Posted May 5, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) Robert - now that you have used the Splitgrade for some years, would you buy it again? Michael If I wasn't so invested in digital I would buy again. I seldom print anymore. In that respect the SplitGrade helps because when I do print it takes very little effort to get a good print.
