No Trend Whores Here.

Without a doubt, as film becomes even more obscure and even more expensive to work with, in just a few years, it will be trendy for artists to revitalize in their studios. It will be forgotten that many photographers have never stopped embracing it's versatility and graphic qualities. I just hope for that trend to come around...you know the "film as 'the real honest medium' "...so our prices can finally go down a little!

  I do have to say that in a way the death of film as an everyday medium is good for us poor kids looking to build a darkroom. I got a Besler 23C enlarger on eBay for $78 that included shipping from across the country! It was in perfect working condition. We just had to relign the teeth so the head would raise and lower evenly. Easy.

  Looking for darkroom stuff? Go to Craigslist or eBay for good deals. It took me about two months of looking to find exactly what I wanted, but when I did find it I was super happy.

  Where have you gotten good deals?
