Default Hi from NW England

I have returned to Black and White after many years absence, colour was so much cheaper and was the answer at the time. I recently bought a 35mm and larger format enlarger on e bay for nearly nothing; but have had problems loading film onto a stainless steel spool for developing, eventually turned to a paterson system 4 which I have had no problems with.
Cameras, I have Nikon FM which I have been using for 25 plus years and have recently acquired a Leica 111f B/d with a Summitar lens this required a complete rebuild by Malcolm Taylor. I must say the results from this old camera are rather good. Moving to the other end of the scale a kodak brownie mk2, a nikonos 111 and a twin lens reflex.
Not exactly fallen out with digital, but it just takes the fun out of photography.
Philipq
