It seems like I have been desperately google searching all sorts of specific and general photography phrases trying to find a forums just like this for the last few days.

I have been interested in photography for about ten years, in my own low tech kept to myself sort of way. I have been slowly working on putting together a darkroom. I have a Durst m600 enlarger (sans lens for the moment, and a few bolts - I think), a pentax mv and a whole slew of toy and junk cameras.

I am glad to have finally found you, off I go to read posts for the next hour or so.

Welcome to APUG, it's a great place to learn and share with others.

If you have the enlarger lens board, let me know which one as I have a lens can send you. PM your address and I'll get it out next week. It's nothing fancy but it will get you started. I'm using a Durst M600 as well and it's a fine enlarger to work with.

Be sure to post pics as you can.

Hi Jesa,

Hello Jesa, welcome from Oklahoma!

Jesa:

1) Welcome, from the West Coast of Canada;

2) Eli's gesture is the sort of thing you'll see in APUG, because:

a) there are lots of generous people here, and

b) just about everybody here has more gear than they really need :).

You'll enjoy it here.

Ole I'm a bit confused here. #The best "real photography" forum...........#
I thought it was the only "real photography" forum :) There are off course a lot of very good Alternative photography sites like F295, Alternative photography, Large format forum and D****** photography forums etc :D

Kind regards
