Industrial

Maybe someone regards it as an archaism, but on second thought I decided to create
section briefly describing classic darkroom. It is website devoted to classic cameras -
isn't it? This section would mainly describe black and white photography. Color
photography in makeshift home conditions is too expensive and too difficult. I had a
first contact with darkroom when I was a child. It was always very impressive for me.
Darkness, faint light of darkroom lamp, enlarger, slowly appearing image on a print
being in developing dish with developer - all these things made unforgettable
impression. Digital photo proceeding by computer is obviously more comfortable, faster
and offers more possibilities, but I miss the true darkroom atmosphere. I have been
personally developing my photos in a darkroom for a couple of years. I even managed
to get one room to organize there permanent darkroom. I even was developing color
photos on the paper (Fotoncolor) and I was also developing films (Orwocolor NC 19
and NC 21). Once I even developed a slide, Orwochrom UT 21! Nowadays I have to
saythat I really rarely develop photos in a darkroom. After I changed my flat I do not
have so much free space and I do not have so much time. But from time to time I try to
do something. On the reseller's market there are a lot of publications concerning work
in adarkroom. There is no point in copying them into the website. That's why I will only
briefly describe darkroom equipment I had to do with, i.e. enlargers like e.g. Magnifax
4, Opemus 6, Krokus 69s, Krokus 3, enlarging lenses, filter heads, darkroom meters,
filters for darkroom lamps and other equipment. I will also write about practical side of
work in darkroom. Chemistry and materials will be also mentioned.
