It's interesting to note that along with the "Resurgence" of B &W
photography, there seems to have been an increased interest in doing one's
own processing.  It wasn't too long ago that Leitz V-35 enlargers could be
bought on eBay for around $500 - 800.  Now they often bring in excess of
$1200.  The same is true of the Valoy II and Focomat 1 enlargers.  In fact,
the demand for most darkroom equipment in general seems to have risen
significantly.

Of course I'm partly responsible.  I've just completed my darkroom after a
20 year absence.
