Default Hello all from not so sunny Hampshire

Hello all from not so sunny Hampshire, I started taking picture many years ago with my first camera, a Praktika SLR, it was my pride and joy I took it every where and took pictures of everything. After some time the excitement died down and I moved on, the new love of my life was a Voigtländer SLR, this was the greatest camera ever, well at least in my inexperienced eyes. After a few years I traded in the Voigtländer and bought a brand new Minolta 7xi which I still have. I came across the FADU website via the Ag Photographic web site while I was weighing up the pros and cons of setting up a darkroom. As fund are a bit short at the moment I am thinking of starting small, maybe developing my own slide film first and then progressing for there.
Anyway that’s enough from me, I hope to contribute if and when I can.

Welcome Andy. Developing slide film may not be the easiest introduction but at least you have the finished product. No darkroom required.

A slide viewer or better still a projector and you are "good to go"

Mike
