I never thought I would ever need a sensitometer, but never say never.  To compare different film developer formulas, I found that I needed to run some tests.  In order to make the test I needed to expose numerous sheets of film and expose them all identically.  What I needed was a film sensitometer.  What I did was build one.  This project was not as difficult as I first expected and most everything I needed was laying around, either in the closet, or the junk box.

I wrote abut my experience designing and building a DIY Sensitometer back in 2009, then shelved the article where is has remained dormant since.   Well finally, I drug the thing out and put it up on our web site.   Interested in learning more about building a film sensitometer?  Head over to the ARTICLES & HOW-TO area of our web site, scroll down the page to the link titled, “BUILDING A FILM SENSITOMETER.”  You will see how I did it, and you may just want to try it yourself. . . if this is something you have a need for.
