I find that I may only print a few images out of a role (If I am that lucky)so I've rarely had them done. Also my shooting is sporadic. I may shoot 20 roles in a week, then not shoot anything for two months. In between I work on the images that I've done. I've also had to deal with dust, and bad water (heavy copper content in our local water...we're on a well). For water your only options are filters, or buying distilled water. I probably need to get a better filter myself. For dust I have had good luck with Austin air cleaners. One of the reasons I went for an entirely new computer for my darkroom was that the family computer is in the downstairs office with two parrots...boy do those guys create dust! The only way I could fend it off at all was with a big air cleaner (I'm using one designed for half a house in a room about 12x14 feet). Austin air cleaners are available on line at a number of retailers. You can check them out via google.com, just use the advanced search and type in Austin Air Filters as an exact phrase. - --- "Zeissler, Mitch" <mzeissle@gannett.com> wrote: > Darrell... > > I feel the same. > > I *did* go for a traditional B&W darkroom for a > about a year and found > it to be extremely difficult to get consistent > results with our hard > water, dust, cold house, etc. I found the switch to > a digital darkroom > to be much simpler to deal with; however, I don't > like staying in front > of a computer for long periods of time. > > I'm even thinking of having Kodak do my scanning for > me, as most of my > Leica images [back on topic] are simply shared > online with friends and > family. > > /Mitch > > -----Original Message----- > From: Darrell Jennings > [mailto:darrell_jennings@yahoo.com] > Sent: Thursday, June 13, 2002 5:11 PM > To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us > Subject: Re: [Leica] Digerati going back to film > > I'm glad to have a digital darkroom setup, but if my > housing situation > were different, I might have gone for a "wet" dark > room instead. > -- > To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
