Hi from Finland
Hello!
Greetings from Jyväskylä, Finland! I was looking for information on replacement bulbs and LED modifications for my Focomat V35 and ended up here. Currently I do not have a darkroom in working order. However, I am hoping me and my girlfriend will find an apartment that has a chance for a more permanent printing setup. She has asked me to teach her film developing and printing so it is not just me. A lot of my "photography" recently has been digital but I do have a lot of negatives that wait for the proper darkroom. And of course I expect to be shooting B&W film in the near future. Mikko |

Welcome, Mikko.
Honestly, I've had to search Jyväskylä in Google Maps because I had no idea where it could be. Once I've found it, it seems to me a great place for landscapes and, maybe, rally races. |

Welcome Mikko. I hope you manage to get a darkroom in the near future. Film developing is possible with a changing bag and then using a kitchen but it is not the same as a darkroom and the exciting part is printing where some kind of darkroom is essential
Best of luck Mike |

Thank you for your messages!
Domingo: How nice of you to check where I live. It can be nice around here although as a local I suffer from the fact that I see this stuff every day of every week. A couple of years ago I traveled to Galicia, Spain to see a place called Finisterre. Just because Justin Sullivan sang about it in one of his songs. Mike: I have a changing bag that I got along with a 4x5" field but I've never really used it except when I really, really have to. When I have taught darkroom basics at our local camera club, I have instructed participants to do as I do: use their (preferably windowless) bathroom for film development. I've blocked extra light from the door with towels and then I've gone to the (unheated) sauna that is at the other end of our bathroom and has a dim glass door. The steps actually provide a good enough surface for all the stuff. Oh my, just the second post in a new forum and I've already mentioned sauna. I have also done printing in that same bathroom: I built a (flimsy) table that has the washing machine underneath. The chemistry trays were on the floor, underneath the shower. The washer was located .. in the sauna. The paper boxes were also in the sauna as there is a serious shortage of dry, clean table surface. |
