    But I will say, WAY TO GO!
    It's a very intimate process isn't it!
    What's your plan now? Will you find a community darkroom or something to make a print now or what?
    Keep it up!
    Film RULES!

    Brian, I actually have a room here at home that is dark enough. I used it to load my film in the developer. I bought an enlarger at a yard sale last weekend and it seems to work. I think I am going to do all of my B&W in house. Your right Brian there's nothing like pulling it out of the developer an seeing the negs developed. Thanks Brian.

    You Go Gary!!
    I am working on a darkroom in my room too, but I see it taking a while to do.
    I'll have to build a wall to close it off and a sink, plus some eletrical and plumbing work.
    I have an enlarger, 16x"20" easel and a Gralab Timer.
    I want to get a nicer archival print washer, and I'll need a safe light or two as well.
    I have a post about it on my blog here, you can see what it looks like now and what I hope it will look like when it's completed.
    I look forward to hearing more about your experiences with FILM!!.

    But when we moved into our house last year, it has this space that we didn't know quite what to do with, and all I could see was DARKROOM!

    I know, I've read it. That's why I'm jealous! If I ever move to another house that has a good spot for it, I'll build one too. Good luck with it!

    You don't need a darkroom just a changing bag. Unless you are going to make prints
    Thanks everyone. This is certainly fun. I read an artical in a magazine a couple of weeks ago that stated digital color was better than film? I always thought the other. I have been looking for the artical and was going to post it in VF and see what everyone here thought. The people that run the diital vs film test was Pop Photo.
    For me I hope to shoot film and digital. But would like to do all of my B&W in house. I really love my 510. I don't see ever going back to film only.

    Oh, I know. :thumbsup: I'm just talking about making prints. I developed two rolls of Tri-X in my kitchen last night, and I'll be scanning some of it tonight. Stay tuned...

    Did your Canonet roll get messed up in processing or in the camera? Destroying some film is part of the learning process...and you'll never stop learning.
