Response to What equipment do I need

Really all you need is a few important things... a thermometer, a timer, trays (11x14 are good to start out with), a film tank and reels, an enlarger with lens, developers, stop and fixer, and water... doesn't have to be running water just a place where you can change the water when needed. You might want an easel for your prints and a heavy piece of glass for your contact prints... and to make things easy... a safe light for printing. This is a simple list and you will ALWAYS be adding articles but this will definitely get you started. I have set up darkrooms for people in bathrooms to full blown darkrooms and everything in between. You can start out in your basement at night with a safelight... you really don't need to many things to start out. Hope this helps a bit... Cheers
