Hi

I'm not sure my cunning plan to set up a darkroom is going to happen in a hurry.

Is it possible to squeeze a 5x4 enlarger into a nova darkroom tent - and have room for a 13 stone person to breathe / not fall into the dev / knock everything over?

Any suggestions for the enlarger with the smallest footprint?
I'd have to use slot processor dishes of course.

Of course if this does not work, I could limit myself to 35mm...



... and 10x8 contact prints!

(I consider scanning to be giving in to the enemy)

maybe consider something like this on the auction site item 320726476428
I think if you have some reasonable hand skills you could make one using plastic piping and a steel bench.

Hope this is useful

There is a Jobo tent which you see occasionally on ebay. And I recall Roger Hicks displaying use of a tent in one of his books (it was his first darkroom). But I don't know if it was for 6x9 or the bigger 5x4 enlargers.

Buy yourself a growtent. they are very common in Holland......
I have one which i use during wet plate demonstrations. They are about 120 x 120 x 200 cm
Set up in about 10 minutes.
