Response to Looking for a timer!

As a fan of low-tech solutions, I'm not normally one to tout high- tech gadgets with lots of bells and whistles. However, I swear by my Zone VI compensating developing timer. Yeah, it's a lot more expensive than the little wind-up egg timers, but it has LEDs that are large and bright enough to see at the other end of my darkroom sink and beeps every 30 seconds as well. There is also a dimmer setting for film developing, and brightness and loudness controls to fine tune it to your needs. The best thing, however, is the little temperature probe that goes in the developer tray and the accompanying chip in the unit that adjusts the length of the "seconds" depending on the temperature of the developer. No more worries about temperature drift, cold solutions in winter or warm in summer. This thing has relegated my thermometers to the drawer. Repeatable results at practically any reasonable temperature was worth the extra expense for me. Maybe you can find one on eBay for cheap. Hope this helps. ;^D)
