I do all my LF work in the darkroom- all monochrome.
That might change of I start doing colour - but I need a scanner that works with LF.

I do - develop B&W and E6 from 35mm to 30x40cm, enlarge everything from 35mm to 5x7" (B&W only so far), and contact print any size.

Very little and really only just started - contact printing only. I've been scanning for years, so this is a bit of a treat for me.

Another one for the darkroom. I am in the process of setting one up at home. Once completed, I expect I will spend a lot of time in there.

Hello all I still use the darkroom, however have recently bought a scanner and A3 printer although find the darkroom work particularly enjoyable, producing Monochrome prints up to 20" x24" from medium format up to 5x7" negs. Patrick

I have a very cramped darkroom in which I enlarge and contact print. Looking forward to the day I can get more room.

My darkroom has always been a temporary converted 'workroom' & I have always processed b & w film, but E6 goes out to South West Colour Labs Ltd. Now I have a scanner & printer I reckon I have the best of both worlds. Dennis

Whilst not a regular darkroom user over the past year or so I have just fitted out a permanent darkroom and should be able to while away an hour or two knocking out monochrome prints. It's probably the Luddite in me which prefers the traditional print.
