Once the correct exposure time has been determined then a simple method of regulating that time is required - and the Paterson 2000D enlarger timer is recommended to provide this in a simple and reliable way.


It works with any enlarger of up to 5 amps and set exposure times via the + or - buttons in increments at 0.1 seconds in the range 0.1 to 9.9, and in increments of whole seconds in the range 10 to 99 seconds. The brightness of the large, digital display can be adjusted to a level suitable to the sensitivity of the photographic material in use and can easily be read, even when set to minimum.


After you have put the paper into position under the enlarger, a single press of the Run button will switch on the enlarger for the required exposure time.


The 2000D allows the exposure time to be interrupted by a further operation of the Run button and then continued by again pressing the button. This permits the printer to introduce tools for selective exposure. It comes complete with plug for your enlarger.

Matthew H. ★★★★★

The illuminated display is easy to read even in a dim darkroom, and the rotary dial makes setting exposure times quick and intuitive. It’s been a reliable upgrade from my old mechanical timer.

Sebastian ★★★★★

Very pleased with how solidly built this timer feels, and being able to dial in precise half-second increments has made dodging and burning so much more consistent.

Eva M. ★★★★★

I was initially confused by the old analog timer, but this one made dialing in exact exposures so much simpler right from the first print session. The audible beep at the end of each cycle is a surprisingly handy feature when I'm working with multiple trays at once.
