I love it!

My father in law used to print color too!

Do you process your own film still?

Thanks for the nice comment!

I used to develop all my b/w and color c-41 plus print b/w and some color in a wet darkroom. Now it's mail it out to be processed and scanned by a
professional lab in California. They do a pretty good job.

FYI, I like using the Hasselblad film equipment, it's well built, deliveries very sharp results and it's a square format.

My father in law used several Hasselblads, but he still loved Mamiya 330 for convenience! He processed his own color and derided the idea of digital!

Which lab in LA do you use! It woukd be good to know. I shoot LF film and with a Bronica SQ, but not for years!

Well your father in law was smart! The Mama f330 was a great camera to use for portraits because you had two lenses, one for viewing and one for exposure.

I use the TheDarkroom, they do a really good job of processing, scanning the film plus the online storage is great to have for your images. They
process both b/w and color, all processes. (dip and dunk) 35, 120, sheet film including 8x10. You should give them a try also they have a pretty fast turnaround.

I hope this helps!

Seems incredible to own a hasselblad and have your own darkroom etc., I would love to give it a try. I do think we should use whatever we have and can afford, and I can only afford digital. I would love to try my hand at working in a darkroom though, seems
it must be exciting to be so hands on. How fortunate you are :-0 Maggie ... and those oranges looks so yummy! Maggie

I don't own a darkroom in my house anymore. It's been converted into storage but the water lines and electrical outlets plus I have all the
equipment to put it back into a working darkroom.

You know you could sign up for a photography course at a local school most of them still have working darkrooms.

The Hasselblad gear is what I still have from my working days as a photographer. It's just a couple of bodies and a few lenses.

Thanks John, but I live in a relatively small town, 6 hours from Montreal, and there is nothing like that where I live. Understandably as there would not be enough students for it to be cost effective.

If I lived close to the big city, it would be an easy feat. It's just something that I think I would have liked, but I still enjoy photography as I can now. Thanks Maggie

Hey Maggie, it's great you have such a passion for photography - it's exciting to be so hands on! I agree, it's important to make the most of what you have and can afford. The great thing about photography is that it can be done with virtually any equipment. Even with digital, you can still get some amazing shots! Have you checked out any online tutorials? There are plenty of resources available to learn the basics of darkroom photography. Good luck and happy shooting!
