I found a Kodak "kit" in our attic which consisted of fixer developer, a thermometer, measuring beaker (in heavy glass) some paper, a small contact printing frame, and all bundled in a yellow and black plastic case, which doubled as the trays. Only 2 years ago at an auction, I found an unused one of these and picked it up -- ah memories. I tried to use this kit, but I suspect with no success, but it planted the idea. Then as luck would have it, I was walking to school, passing the home of another kid in my school. We walked together, became friends, and he asked me if I would like to try darkroom work in his neighbour's darkroom. I was hooked, and he is jealous ;-) Cheers - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
