Default Hello from Norway

Hi all.
New to this forum that seem to have a lot of nice information in the analog era.
I live in a small city near Oslo and have newly taken up my old hobby again.
In my house I have 2 darkrooms with 3 enlargers. Plenty of analog cameras from 135 to 4x5 in my house .
Educated in chemistry and radioactivity ( almost working with that in 40 years).

It sounds like you have excellent darkroom facilities. Unlike you,Trygve, I was uneducated in radioactivity over 60 years ago but fortunately I could not afford to paint my toy cars with luminous paint that you could buy in the U.K. in the early 1950s. That stuff really made the toys glow in the dark as it had genuine radioactive material in the paint

Could you get that paint in Norway or was it just the British that were careless with their children's safety?

I was born in the late 50's so I don't remember that. Maybe the paint contained tritium that was used in the old "EXIT" signs. In the early 50's you allso could by radiactive toothpaste that contained thorium. Many lensens contain thorium allso.

Welcome to the forum. Sometimes this place seems almost to have died a death, then there is a flurry of real activity that you can find it difficult to answer all.

I don't have enough time to use the one darkroom in all the time I have never mind two. Now strictly a 35mm user myself, I have accumulated a reasonable collection of camera bodies both nearly new and some 40 years or so old. I stick to Nikon and Minolta and was sad to see the demise of Minolta, they had some innovative ideas.

Are you all black and white or do you also print colour?
