Coming back to photography
Hi All, Let me tell you a little about myself.
I have been doing photography for the past 38 years or so (on and off) I suppose looking back on it the only reason I stoped doing it was that I got married and bought up kids ...How many time you herd that? I have used most semi professional and professional gear for weddings, commercial and club level photograhy.
I'm resetting up a darkroom (slowly) which will cope with up to 5"x7" negs and am located in London and use 35mm (rarely) 6x7, 5x4 and have the capability to use 5"x7". Any further info you require please do not hesitate to contact me.
Cheers Dave

Re: Coming back to photography
Dave, you are using the same formats as me, also aspiring to 5x7 now I have a devere 507 (which I have found is missing its head lifting pins). However, I do seem to be using 35mm a lot (partly due to the resurrection of my old Minox GT.

Re: Coming back to photography
Thanks for the welcome all.........I forgot how long it takes to set a darkroom up and how many bits you need.
Mark e Mark...When I 'get shooting' I'll be using a Sinar C but I may move up to 10x8 ! (don't ask why! )

Re: Coming back to photography
I am tempted by the Walker 8x10XL and putting a 5x7 back on it and having the best of both worlds - but the expense .
