I left the lenses on my enlargers in the darkroom (in an unheated wooden garage) for around 5-10 years and they were fine. Two stored in keepers for some years (not by me) developed fungus. I’m not...

I had the LPL 4x5 enlarger which I found to be very good. It is also very compact for a 4x5 machine which makes it ideal for home use. It can do everything from 35mm to 4x5” negatives. It is a...

Thanks for posting this Nick. In black and white it could be Glasgow or Belfast. I think colour would have shown it in an entirely different light. The scene with the politician shows how things have...

I have done some handheld night time photography, and I am sure that Delta 3200 was one of the films used. I think that Ilford Microphen is still the preferred developer to gain maximum...

The end negative is always a problem. There is nothing wrong with taping it if that helps. I have used the M670, but never owned one. On the M601, an older Durst with a similar carrier, you could...
