i don't actually know why i wasn't yet subscribed here before
Google brought me here half of the times i was searching for something analog darkroom related...
Anyway... Here i am, and hello!
As i am mouseclicking the whole day at work, i get more analog pleasures off work.
I run my hobbyist darkroom in the attic lately, for about a year now, (should ve done it much earlier..!) and developing my bw film the last 20 years. I m the kind of guy who bought a "good deal" package of seven used enlarging lenses just because there was a componon-s 80mm in there which i needed (and also a komuranon 105 i thought i needed, that is sadly an underperformer). Promised myself i will sell the rest of it but somehow they dont want to go
I also have by some random turn of events a double-digit number of film cameras most in a useable state, some used by me, some not so much.
My latest weakness is buying up old darkrom paper -mostly record rapid preferred- though i got burned with that once or twice (dense fog on latest version RR from the nineties)
But i still enjoy making photos more than collecting gear, whatever the above text would suggest
Not sure how much i will be able to add to this forum - at least i will try to not do any damage i promise
