Who is still shooting film? I had a family member hook me up with some stuff a bit too late. ;) Might have to get a K1000 and start shooting again. :jump:

Got an Omega color darkroom setup with a programmable digital timer. Not sure, I might just get rid of it since I don't really have the resources to set up a darkroom.

I still shoot film and enjoy it.

You can pick up some mighty nine film cams on the super cheap now that everyone's gone digi.

If I still had a med format I would but the D3 pretty much smokes any film camera I've ever touched.

Me too. My last rolls of film in 2003 were done in the bathroom turned darkroom. I made contact prints from them and developed in that small setup. I was able to make adjustments on the print and take to the pros Downtown to have them printed. Still have the printer's notes with the negatives in an envelope. :)

I miss chilly mornings and walking into the photo shop smelling Dektol. :jump: I had many stained shirts from working in there. Mom would be doing laundry and ask, "What the hell did you get on these shirts that's not coming out?" Ah, they've been chemically altered, lol. :banana:

:rotflmao: :paper: The only thing I really miss is watching the image gradually appear in the solution and seeing it take shape in front of my eyes. Not the same with a File->Copy from the CF cards.

I hear that. I just don't get the same feeling watching the Epson print away or opening the package from EZPrints. :jump:

Solarization was fun as hell, too. Man, the stuff we used to do in there. I've got a rock somewhere I printed a photo of rocks onto with Liquid Light. :pirate:
