Default Hi from Buckinghamshire

Hi,

My i'm Raj from Buckinghamshire. I've been shooting 35mm with an SLR for about 10yrs and have got progressively worse. I now mainly shoot medium format with a lubitel 166b (yes a toy!), and occasionally some 16mm cine film with a Bolex cash-permitting. I plan on setting up my own makeshift darkroom to get a tighter control on the whole process, maybe scanning in the negatives rather than printing.

Hi Raj and welcome to FADU. You may be surprised at how little room you'll need for the wet printing part of a darkroom. If this bit excites you then just ask and I am sure that ideas from all of us will be provided

I've done some B&W printing a long time ago at uni, but i was planning on having a go at developing colour negatives. The colour printing part looks quite hard to control especially dish developing, is a print processor pretty much an essential for this?

Cheers
