You're going see them with their beloved film camera. You're not going to see them with their portfolio case with their prints in it like I'd see in the old says with my camera friends we all had darkrooms in our bathrooms or basements. To have made that statement I'd have loved to have seen Colin H. the twin lens Mamiya guy "hanging out" with his prints pulling his portfolio or stack of prints out and sharing them with his friends so I can see what his "real photograph" looks like. We saw one of his images but in context don't even know if It was a 5x7 or an 11x14. I've had bad luck with rental darkrooms for black and white. They are very good for analog color. Your not going to get your prints fixed twice most likely. Your enlargers are not going to be aligned. Analog photography requires a huge commitment. Its not a rental darkroom kind of a think you'd make RC prints there most likely. An RC print is not going to be hung in a gallery and collectors have no use for them. They pale next to a well done pigment rag inkjet print. By the way I had my camera yesterday set at not A or P but M. The difference in shooting from film was I don't know what. Almost any modern DSLR has this "m" setting. Its very hands on. Just like shooting a Pentax Spotmatic or a Leica M3. -- Mark R. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/ > From: John McMaster <john at chiaroscuro.co.nz> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Sun, 21 Aug 2011 12:21:02 +1200 > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] Film > > Line wrap I suspect, try http://preview.tinyurl.com/3wtbxku > > john > > -----Original Message----- > > On 8/20/2011 6:29 PM, Tina Manley wrote: >> http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/living/2011/08/18/natpkg.film.not.dea >> d.yet >>> .cnn?hpt=hp_abar> > I just get a message that this video is not currently available....a sure > sign of a conspiracy somewhere. > > Ken > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Leica Users Group. > See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
