[net.rec.photo] Transmission Densitometers

ddb@mrvax.DEC (DAVID DYER-BENNET MRO1-2/L14 DTN 231-4076) (07/13/84)

I am starting to think about acquiring a transmission densitometer for use
in monitoring my processing (I think I've been getting flaky lately, but
it's hard to tell for sure...).  I'm getting tired of reading that zone I
exposure should, with proper development, produce a density of .1 above
film base and fog when I can't do anything with the information.

So, does anybody know anything about transmission densitometers (like
names, prices, where to buy)?  Does anybody know any not-too-awful hacks
that I can use to get the same effects for less money?

Probably better to respond directly to me; I'll summarize if anybody cares.
