Well, another one who's starting over again, basically due to a chance meeting with a Minolta Dynax. Silly me, I thought it would be compatible with my aging SRT101. Anyway, I had to put a reel of FP4 through it to see if it worked. It might seem lucky but I even dug out my old Patterson developing tank and filled it with Foma's equivalent of D76 and it seemed to work (I almost forgot - 1+1 and 15 minutes at 20º C). The local lab scanned them and gave me a CD of the pics and I fear I have fallen into temptation again, some twenty years from the last time I sat at my enlarger. Now I'm going to have to clean out the "utility" room and start printing again.
I've been lurking for a while and decided it's time I came out of the wardrobe.
 
Sounds great! DIY B&W is so much fun. I also approve of your habitat choice. I've dreamed of moving to Spain for half a decade now.
