In 1999, we participated in a darkroom survey that allowed each LUGger to 
list their "traditional" darkroom equipment e.g. enlarger, lens, B&W or 
colour, etc. More than 100 of us who responded were using traditional 
darkrooms to produce their images.

Perhaps it might be worthwhile to do another survey in light of the digital 
revolution. May I suggest that this survey address the following:

1. Traditional darkroom only   /  Traditional darkroom plus digital darkroom
2. If both, in what proportion.


If none of the above,

3. Using film cameras only / Both film and digital
4. If both, in what proportion

I will appreciate your participation. To get the ball rolling, I will be 
the first respondent.

Traditional darkroom 75%, digital 25%
Film cameras 97%, digital PS for ebay

I have tried high end digital cameras and don't like them.  Maybe the digital 
backs will make me happier but I just don't like the feel of the digital 
inputting devices, I don't like screwing around with software.   I guess I like 
the mechanical/alchemical mix better than the new tech.
