Response to help i am a beginner

from Dean Lastoria (dvlastor@sfu.ca)
Just had one further idea. Honestly, 35mm film is really tough to handle -- at least for a big clumsy guy like me. For your learning curve -- learning developing that is -- 120 film is way better. You can develop it in open trays or soup bowls, and you don't need an enlarger because you can contact print it to make nice 2" x 3" photos. What you have to do is look in junk shops, used camera stores, flea markets, or Salvation Army stores and find an old KODAK Brownie Box camera, or some other brand that takes 120 film (stamped right on it in the metal) -- you should spend $5.00 on it, or maybe $10, but no more. I think it is the easiest way, so if you find said camera, post something and I'll talk you through the first bit. Then you can move up to 35mm. Dean
