Smile Hi everyone!

Hi guys,
I am a Photography student at sixth form college, and since starting my course, I have loved the darkroom! I am planning to convert this old cupboardy thing in my house to a darkroom so I can do pinhole photography at home, but without an enlarger as I can't afford one.
Looking forward to getting new tips etc from these forums

Hi Naomi and welcome to Fadu, good luck with the darkroom, have a look around as some very good enlargers, such as Meopta, which I have and is built like a tank, can be had for very little money, anything you want help with just ask, someone will have the answer,
Richard

Welcome Naomi. As Richard has said and others will echo there are plenty of basic enlargers out there. You have the other two main assets which are a bit of space and lots of enthusiasm.

I hope we can help whenever it is needed and that you enjoy our company

Mike

Welcome to FADU Naomi. As Richard said, there are plenty of good enlargers out there and it need not cost a fortune to set up a basic darkroom. Hope to see your work in the pin hole gallery in the future.

Whereabouts are you based? I have a Durst M670 colour enlarger in the loft along with a couple of lenses you can have if you're close enough to collect.

Also got a boxed Paterson Autocolourtherm if you want it.

Hi Naomi its great to have a sixth form photography student join us, I had a great surprise last year as I walked through a part of Leeds and came across a class of students all with film cameras it made my day.
Welcome to FADU.
