I snagged a FREE (yep.. free) 35mm Enlarger a few weeks back from a guy who just wanted to get rid of it. Granted it's not "name brand" (it's only a Patterson) and the lens is no Rodenstock but hey.. it's FREE.
I can develop my own film already (thanks to all of you folk) so maybe this weekend I'll try my hand at printing... all I really need is chems.. I've got the trays too !! Plus I figure this will save me money! (i.e. hard for me to spend oodles of cash when I'm in a dark tiny bathroom inhaling the fumes of the photo chemicals...... hmmm... remind me to tell you all about the dream I had where I pictured myself in a boat on a river with tangerine streams and marmalade skies..........)
