Re: Friday Photography Blog #25. (none / 1)

I'm reasonably certain that a Bessa will outlast me by almost as much as a Leica will! Leica's are just too expensive to justify.

I don't intend shooting colour film much - though slides scanned at 4000 dpi are sort of nice if you want to print on the side of the house - so it would be B&W, which I enjoy developing.

That's one of my incentive to get older... To find the time to put back my B&W darkroom in works :-)
FP4 is great but I do like the fuji Acros which you tend to find more easily here because of the aggressive marketing of Fuji !

Developing B&W doesn't need a darkroom! A tank and reels, some chemicals and a changing bag and you're done.

Those are at hand (with powder packs of Perceptol, ID 11 and Microphen just in case I push or reduce a film), but I like the enlarger prints, and the voodoo magic of the picture showing up in the tray !
It worked with all of my children... Big gleaming eyes !
