Don't do like me.

All that I am trying to do is improve the quality of my landscape photographs by using medium format film cameras instead of 35mm & dslr cameras. I would love to have a home darkroom, but that is not possible in my house. I can only try to print my own images using the current digital technology. Maybe, I would be better off having a professional lab process & print my images (who would you recommend?). I would rather do my own prints, but would consider using outside prefessional services.
Again, if my question does not belong on this website, I apologize.

Many people would love to be able to discuss digital here but that, according to sean, is not why this site exists. If it is standoffish and unfriendly to expect people to read the first page of the site then so be it.
Welcome rrobinson54 this is a great place to discuss the analogue portion of your photography. Your camera choice is great and so is your film choice.

Julian Hart said:Hello rr
If you are trying to maximise quality, you NEED a proper medium format film scanner or better still a drum scanner. A flatbed scanner just will not cut it (even the latest 4990/9950F).
If you can't afford a medium format film scanner, you are better off getting a good 35mm film scanner and sticking with your N1, and getting a proper darkroom for your MF work.
