BUT if only liquid chemicals are available, they work fine too! It’s good to see you are looking at a traditional darkroom. (you can also make PP plates in your own shop, with just a few small pieces of equipment that are easly shop-made) It’s all part of the “you can’t do that” negativity that is all too common nowadays. and are merely repeating what others have told them. My guess is that folks who think it is have never bothered to try it…. and if you put some effort in into looking for a used camera, you could get it down even more.Ĭontrary to what some folks will tell you, the process is rather straight forward…. Checking the prices on e-Bay for the camera, one could easily set up an equivalent system for less than $500…. I did a cost analysis several years ago, and found it to cost about 2/3rds of what it does to send the copy out to have negatives made. No processor is required, or any other expensive equipment. Ortho flim is easily available, as are the chemicals, trays darkrooms and so forth. ![]() consisting of an 8x10 camera, and a rudimentry darkroom. My set up is not eleborate or costly at all….

AB chemicals look like the cheaper ones, but I don’t see them recommended for line film. Perhaps I could save half the pouch for next month. ![]() They keep longer and are cheaper to ship here to the Great White North. I think I should used powder chemicals. With the diminished volume of orders since Covid-19 hit us, I think my biggest expense will come from discarding the expired and unused chemicals.Īs far as I understand there are different groups of films using different groups of chemicals. ![]() I have an AGFA Repromaster MK3 camera I have to hoist up there somehow. I even found a used revolving darkroom door. I am setting up a darkroom in my house loft. ![]()
