Help!

What kind of processing you see commonly on tv where they're in a darkroom with a red light and they'll dip a paper into those rectangular pans with chemicals in it and they hang the photo afterwards?

anyone please?

thank you

I have a question plese: How much a medium format photographic enlarger costs? Not a very professional one, but also not a crappy one. This one is a Omega and I suppose it's a good one.

Thanks :)

@skonkfactory a velvia 50 is worth 100 megapixels....... pretty open ended statement ? in what format 35 mm 6 x 4.5, 6x6, 6x7, 6x17 , 4x5, 8x10 . megapixels don't mean shit, people shouldn't compare film to digital 2 completely different mediums.

Is it possible to use a 110 color strip of negative film in that scanner to enlarge the photos??

@Malibucompany Yes, it has defined the difference between the artist and the casual photographer. Since 2007 film sales have been slowing climbing from an all time low. I was recently talking to an employee of Cord camera and she said that simple 35mm cameras are in demand again over cheaper digital. Disposable cameras still sale good, they are cheap and give a satisfactory result for the snap shot shooter. So, there is still a demand for film.

@carsmasher Thank you for the relpy Agree with you 100%. Do you think that perhaps the digital age has help to define the traditional photographer as tryly the fine art photographer? Perhaps is really reinforced the definition of the fine art photographer who really handcrafts his/her images using light and light sensitive materials. Hope will can still get them in the years to come. It is one of the things that I live for.
