Default Hi from England's beautiful Lake District

Hi everyone,

To introduce myself...

Until about 20 years ago I was very active in photography, secretary of one camera club, member of another and the RPS too. I regularly exhibited & entered competitions (sometimes even winning). Then a change in life circumstances put a stop to it and I packed all my gear into the attic.

Since moving to the Lakes I am now taking lots of photos, but this new-fangled digital (like colour photography I don't think it will ever catch on ) while my darkroom is still in boxes. I can't get the hang of Photoshop - give me a darkroom any time - so I've been thinking about dusting down my medium-format gear and wondering if film, paper and chemicals are still available, and if I can remember how to use them.

Best wishes to all,

Tony

Welcome Tony. It's like riding a bike, you never really forget and you had the foresight to simply put your gear in boxes rather than sell it

Welcome from a Cumbrian native. Just do a search for ag-photographic and you'll see everything is still available. there are other sites apart from them I just used them as an example as their home page is very good
