Default Hi from Hampshire

Evening all.
New to darkrooms.been shooting film for about a year, 35mm 6x7 and recently ventured into large format, I have been developing film with inversion tanks and scanning then printing. I have been wanting to try Traditional darkroom techniques for some time,
managed this week to buy some equipment from a retired gentleman, I got an enlarger with exposure/ timer and lenses etc and a jobo rotary processor, I don’t have the space to develop in trays. Really looking forward to getting started.
I have lots of questions that hopefully can be answered
Thanks Fintan

Hi Fintan, and welcome to the dark side...

Sounds like you are on a rapid trajectory for traditional photography - from 35mm to LF to a darkroom in a year .

As well as the rotary development method, keep an eye out for the Nova slot processors which also take up little room (but neeed draining before you can move them safely - so if you keep them filled, they generally need to stay where you put them).

Ask away - there are people here with expeience of pretty much all things film and darkroom.

Have fun, Bob.
