Default Hello from Suffolk

Hello to all, i’m coming back to film after a long break from my Pentax Spotmatic F and hoping to get a darkroom set up, something I never managed to do.
Also looking at larger formats as I now have a 9 x 12 Patent Etui which will need some sorting.
Cheers Carl

Hi Carl and welcome aboard.

A darkroom for roll-film can be quite compact - as small as a trolly you wheel into the bathroom. Larger formats start to get complicated (bigger enlargers) but well worth it! .

I had to google the Patent Etui - looks very interesting indeed. Do you have a roll-film back for it or will you have to adapt it for sheet film?

Have fun! Bob.

Welcome Carl from another Pentax user. Mine are the MZ7 and the P645N. Nothing bigger alas. The P645N takes enough carting around as it is
