karl, Some of my pals are doing home-brew still - even then it's a bother to chase down chems and shipping costs are killing everyone. I mix my own split-D76 from scratch. I have complete D45 enlarger, lenses, etc plus other lab crap I can't even give away! I've offered it for free to non-profit. Need the darkroom now for other use. I have a friend who couldn't pay students to cart off D23's when school went digital. What's bizarre is that the stuff is still listed new in catalogs with 2008 prices! Oh well - my supply of out-of-date inkjet printers and CPU's is exceeding storage space too. AZ Build a 120/35mm Lookaround! The Lookaround Book.
