I got the Tamron 28-300 XR Di a few months ago as a gift from a friend of mine. It hasn't been off my camera since I got it! I've had a lot of fun with this lens!!

I took a photo class last year (last year of college) and LOVED being able to develop my own film. It was so cool. I'm so jealous that you're creating one in your house! Go you!
#35
its very easy and not expensive to develop your own negatives at home. i bought a light trap film developing canister from BHphoto online for around $15. and the only thing else u need to buy is the chemicals.
once i get my enlarger and have everything set up, you are more than welcome to come use my darkroom. u will just have to bring your own photo paper of course.
also, there may be local places (such as colleges, highschools, or photo stores) where you can pay hourly to use their darkrooms.
Cheers

It would almost be a crime to not participate when such an event is happening "in my own backyard". I'll likely participate in about half the weekend and sign up to give rides to out of towners.
And to stay on topic, yes, I'll bring the Canon 40D along

what kind of enlarger do you have? and would you be willing to sell it? im looking for a used one thats in good shape. if you are willing to part with it, pm me with more specs and price and such. if not, thanks anyways
#49
no problem! also, look at BHphoto's website, or google other photo websites, because you can ususally find pretty good prices on chemicals. good luck with the photo lab search. im sure you will be able to find a local lab to use for a good price.
#50
well if you are going to be signing up to give rides, then count me in! since the week of the the event is my first week of school, i wont have time to drive all the way from DC to san fran, and will only be flying in for a few days, so i will be needing a mini owner to donate some time for driving me around. so let me know if your up for it! and if not, hope to see you there!
