Default Hello from Fakenham

Hello to everyone,

I've largely come back to film over the past four years or so. Digital photgraphy was making me far too careless, and besides I love older cameras and the images they produce. Among my 'collection', - Mamiya 645 proTL, Rolleicord Va, Canon A1, Pentacon Six*(currently away being seviced).


Many years ago at the age of 11 I had access to a darkroom, and I've always missed having control of the whole photographic process. I recently obtained a developing tank and successfully developed a roll of Adox Silvermax, with the intention of scanning on my Epson V700. Now I want to complete the setup with some basic B&W darkroom facilities....

Welcome from 25 miles down the road.

I've had a lot of the darkroom gear that was up for grabs in Norfolk, but there is still a few bits left. Keep your eyes pealed and I'm sure the Kings Lynn chapter will pipe up if anything interesting turns up (as will I).
