There are still many of us struggling on in the darkroom: hell I'm even doing some colour work again, and some how it looks very good --- dare I say as good ;-) dare I think better ;-) Film looks like it will survive in some shape or form, and its getting harder to find darkroom bargains -- what does that say? I'm more than happy to have a natter about ploots etc, but as I prepare for Antarctica, I'm getting into 200 series blads at the moment. Medium format sure makes a fine print and I suspect it will be a better long term financial bet than the DMR, even if its costing me more for the 205Tcc Cheers On 07/02/2006, at 12:16, Marc James Small wrote: > I no longer take pictures.
