Default Hello From Falmouth Cornwall

Just getting back into film Photography I have done it on and off for a good few years now, got plenty of cameras even got darkroom equipment
but no where to set it up permanently, I used to set it up in the Bathroom many years ago but just don't get the time these days.
I was thinking of developing my own black and white films then scanning them into the computer.
I did A level photography about 8 years ago and that was very enjoyable I have digital cameras as well but still enjoy using film very much.
I recently bought a Kiev 66 TTL medium format of eBay and am hoping to have some fun with it. Hoping to learn alot from here.

Christopher.

Welcome to FADU Chris.

I was going to do likewise (i.e. scan negs) until I found out how enjoyable B&W printing is - and I don't have a decent inkjet printer anyway.

Hi and welcome Chris. Have a look at various threads here. A temporary darkroom isn't impossible with such things as enlargers on a wheeled stand and Nova Trimate or Quad processors

Hi Christopher
Welcome to the forum.
I started by processing and scanning my films into a computer, but I am glad that I made space for a darkroom even if though the space I have is not completely ideal. Like Mike says making items portable or even a darkroom tent can be a solution. I also learn a lot here.
