Does this basically not apply on all film manufacturers?

"We" are their guaranteed customers anyway. Why then not put emphasis on possible new or other clientele? Out of their point of view that makes sense.

Tom. my impression is that by definition the old Harman Technology consisting of what was a brave management buyout simply disappeared when it was in turn bought out by Pemberstone and frankly Photrio members while valuable does not represent its future. Future consumers are needed and they largely lie elsewhere.

Do I miss the "old relationship" with Harman as epitomised by Simon Galley? Yes but that's just the way it is. Maybe for our sakes as consumers who need the new IlfordPhoto it is as well that it looks for other consumers

Quite reasonably, they're not terribly interested in the sectors that all too often seek to make a virtue out of how little film or paper they really use.

I will probably pick up a darkroom tent. My long-term goal is a physical darkroom with all the trimmings, but this is a way to get started in a walk-in attic at my home.

Yes, my dear brother.
I totally feel for you and sympathize with you.
Your circumstances are very similar to yours.
I wish you well and that this period passes quickly and well.
- I don't think that this company has new products that can cause breathlessness.
She will announce a new gift for fans of her products, and I think that this gift will be to increase the prices of the products.
Hitting below the belt is what you should expect to happen to people you don't expect to do to you.
The story of French nuclear submarines is the best practical example.
But this life is always difficult.

If you have room for this tent, you could always build yourself a 4'x4'x7' box using 2x2s and thin plywood. That would have solid walls you could install outlets in. You could build a light-trapped vent chamber into the top, which could also hold a recessed safelight. It wouldn't fit in the trunk of your car, though.

"best in show award from digital camera world" that's pretty funny.
too bad the tent doesn't have an oculus to put in a small lens and make it an obscure

That might be an easy mod though.

I've experienced times with no darkroom, and no easy way to set one up where I would have bought that tent in a heartbeat.

What material would you recommend? like a simple darkroom curtain or? I would be interested in the tent but its too small and way too expensive.

I was pretty much suggesting building a room. A room is really just a box.

Personally, I look forward to the 12 days of film calendar. It sounds like a bit of fun.

I received one of these, it was a lot of fun opening a window a day. It's 11 rolls of film in total and some surprises.
