Film is forever. Well, I can't say that, but I know of one photographer who refuses to go digital -- and he does some incredible work with Black & White wet photography. He's even built some of his own cameras and enlargers...and a fully functional darkroom that is still up and running. Looking forward to using it next month and printing some images from my early B&W years. A lot of great memories in there from photo shoots with good friends. Those of you who have spent countless hours in a darkroom understand that there is no sense of time when you've got that sheet of pristine negatives to work with, a box of Ilford Velvet Stipple 11x14 fiber based paper, and trays full of chemicals ready to go . This camera is courtesy of his collection. I may have gone digital, but I can't get enough of these vintage cameras.
