Hi Joe, for me paddling in the darkroom is a nostalgia trip. All my film stuff is now gone and I would not consider re-investing unless I decided to get a plate camera for landscape and architecture work and I would then be looking at 5"x4" format. It was a wrench, but one I think was worth while. Lets face it, you knew you held a Camera in your hands when you held a Nikon F Photomic, F2AS, EL or other brass and titanium model. They were solid and built to last. But as I say - sadly that is all nostalgia now!

Hi Joe, why not ditch the darkroom and invest in a second hand film scanner and have the best of both worlds.

Ahh yes I see you have the same scanner as me .

I have to be honest and say I never read the equipment lists on sigs as to me a photographers images say more about him than the equipment he uses and you really do not need a list Joe
