Default Hi from Kent

Hi, I'm Matt a part time events photographer.

I've just back into shooting film on a Bronica etrsi that i acquired recently after a a twenty year gap. I had dabbled in developing my own films back in the 90's and I'm really enjoying how much using a film camera forces me to slow down. Plus it's real! and gets me away from the computer.

I've been playing around with this purely to get a break from digital. But I feel like I'm getting hooked all over again. Next thing i know I'll be looking for an enlarger. I wish I'd kept mine from 20 years ago.

I'm hoping for advice on enlargers and the world of pushing and pulling films :-) And hopefully some like minded people nearby!

Hi Matt and welcome aboard!

Finding an excuse to get away from the computer is always a good idea - I thiink that was what the darkroom was invented for - 150 years before they got around to inventing the computer...

I use your Bronnie's sibling, the SQA, but if I really want to slow down I'll drag out my 5x4

Have fun, Bob.
