Consistent, measurable results in the darkroom need a good enlarger timer. RH Designs Timer 3, with its larger variable brightness complete with digital display, is probably the best enlarger timer we've ever seen. Being a bridge to f-Stop timing, you can choose between seconds or an f-Stop readout in the display. The seconds go from one-tenth through to 99 seconds while the f-Stop range is in 1/6th separations. The central illuminated dial controls all the functions by clicking and holding it, including a lamp focus feature. When you run the timer, it is complemented by the audible alarm signal which you can use at the end of a sequence. Made from a solid metal case the connections are three-pin Schoko for both power and enlarger hook up. Furthermore, the jack socket at the front takes an optional footswitch which emulates all the main functions of the central dial but it especially useful when working hands-free, e.g. in the case of dodging or burning.
