Sure you can't be persuaded to get a darkroom up and running..?
I may well have had my mind changed for me, I have just been offered a complete darkroom setup including Enlargers, Film Dryer, CPE2 Processor and everything else required.

Have a look for a Durst UT100. It's a small unit with a plastic tent. Just need a couple of screws in wall to attach it or you could hang it from a doorway. I have even seen one built into a small cupbord.
The beauty is it packs away really quite small when not in use.

takes about 6 roll films at a time. It's not really suitable for sheet film unless you are only doing maybe 4 at a time and certainly nothing bigger than 4x5. But then again, you could build a little cabinet and use the unit on top of it without the plastic tent.

Welcome Ed. Wives are the key to a darkroom - well she was in my case

I'd endorse Argentum's comments on the UT100. Great piece of kit

Thanks Gents, the funny thing is, the kit I have been offered all came about by my request for a film dryer on another forum.

This member replied to my request by stating he had a film dryer and that I was welcome to it if I covered the postage. From his description it sounds like a UT100.
