can the heiland splitgrade deal with graded paper

[todd_adank]

<p>I just purchased a leitz v35, heiland spitgrade system and schneider 40mm 2.8 apo componon hm lens for $ 1,100.00 USD. don't know if its the greatest deal with the state of darkroom these days but I'm very happy with what I payed. This system has been talked about a lot so I wont get into this except to say in my first printing session I was making some very fine prints. the biggest thing is don't probe the highlights on most negs. So on to the question can this splitgrade unit just do density for use with graded fb papers.</p>

<p>Todd,</p>

<p>That's a great price. The splitgrade alone is worth more than 1100USD. It is designed for use with any multigrade/variocontrast paper. You can't do splitgrade on graded paper as the grade is fixed.</p>

Thanks for the reply and info but do You know if it is possible to use the unit as a expensive timer/ meter when I do graded paper by bypassing the filter pack.</p>
