Default Hallo :)

Hi folks, just reg'd & thought I'd introduce myself
My names Sam. I've been Printing and deving for about 10 years now, although the last 5 years I've been printing mostly digital stuff, I've carried on shooting and scanning my beloved black & white.
Just last week I moved my enlarger out of my teeny little pantry-another reason I've not done much wet printing lately, hardly room to print a sheet of 10x8- and set it up in a friends lovely spacious darkroom.
Thats it, I'm hooked again! Cracked open a pack of Ilford 16x12 and have discovered the joys of BIG prints.
I've gone an ordered a Mamiya c220 now and am looking forward to shooting the many rolls of film I have left in the fridge from when I sold my Hasselblad.
Anyways, thats me in a nutshell

Thanks for the warm welcome!
And mike, I still doo a lot with the other 'stuff' but theres nothing like shooting, deving and printing your own mono. I just bought an 85 1.4 for my digi this week, which I'd love to try with film, unfortunatley that means yet another camera.

I'll have to buy it surreptitiously, I've got a canon body lieing round somewhere I can sell bit and exchange for a minolta. Hopefully my lovely lady will not notice, thus avoiding the 'not another camera' thing.
