Hi Jesa,
Welcome from New Hampshire. Just FYI - excellent enlarging lenses are going dirt cheap on ebay these days.

Hi Jesa,
I just bought an 80mm f/4 Schienider Componon-S on ebay for $80 - the lens is in excellent condition and is in fact an excellent design. The lens you need depends on both your film format and the enlargement size you intend to make. For example, a 50mm lens is typically recommended for 35mm printing. If you're going to make 8x10 prints this is in fact a good length. However, in my case in addition to making 8x10 prints, I sometimes just want to print a bunch of 4x6 prints for friends and family. What I found was that at that enlargement factor, I found the enlarger lens was inconveniently close to the base, So I bought the 80mm lens to give myself some more room to work. What format to you plan to shoot and print?
Dan

Wow, and I thought I was glad to find this forum before! I am just about overwhelmed by all the friendliness and help I have gotten, and only from a simple introduction post.

I really appreciate it all and I hope that soon enough I can be doing the same for others here.

You guys made my weekend!

Ole I'm a bit confused here. #The best "real photography" forum...........#
I thought it was the only "real photography" forum There are off course a lot of very good Alternative photography sites like F295, Alternative photography, Large format forum and D****** photography forums etc

And welcome from Scotland. Traditional black and white darkrooms are dying out here, but it maybe that the tide is turning as the quality issues arise!

What do you mean by 'quality issues'?

I'm going to join everyone else in welcoming you to APUG!

It's probably the best place on the 'net for learning [anything] about traditional photography.

enjoy

Welcome Jesa! I'm in Houston most of the time myself. Still fighting the good fight in what seems to be a non-film based imaging area. It's nice to know I'm not the only film user in Houston!
