Hello From Cumbria
Hi. My name is Pete. I'm a long-time film user. I had a brief flirtation with digital about 2000 to 2005 but lost interest after that saving digital for quick snaps or unusual situations.
I develop my own black and white film, and yesterday purchased an enlarger to try printing which I haven't done since about 1984. It will be some time before I can start as I need to sort out the loft. I mainly use 35mm, but a couple of months ago I dug out my Hasselblad and was overjoyed to see it still works! After putting a couple of films through it, the larger negative has my juices flowing. I also have a Pentax 67 and a Fujifilm GF670 which will be getting some attention again (my medium format equipment has been in storage for a couple of years during some building work). I have geared my enlarger to the 6x7 negative (Durst M670). I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions as I'm putting together the darkroom. Pete |

Welcome Pete. That's some great MF equipment you have and a very good enlarger. I am a Durst user myself but mine is the M605 so only good for up to 6x6

It was the M605 I was thinking of initially but then realised I must look again. Quote:

Thanks for your welcome, Marty Quote:
I hope to pick up my enlarger next week, but it's going to be quite a while before I'm in a position to start printing as my loft needs a little more clearing and modifying than I hoped. I won't have any excuses for lack of preparation! Pete |
