Yet more evidence of the dominance of digital/demise of darkroom?
Data point: in the latest Costco catalog (no, I'm not a member, it's someone
else's), out of their offering of 36 cameras, only *one* is not digital. (It's a Konica Minolta Maxxum 70 SLR.) Can you say "nails in the coffin"? DISCLAIMER: I'm no fan of digital. I love "traditional" wet photography. I love old cameras. But I also try to recognize reality. I rue this trend the same way I rue the results of the recent election. -- .... voting for John Kerry now is like voting for LBJ in 1964 with full precognition of what he was going to do in Vietnam for the next four years. - Alexander Cockburn in _Counterpunch_ (http://counterpunch.org/cockburn10282004.html) |

Yes, this is rec.photo.darkroom but nowhere does it have to say "traditional" whatever that means. |

I can see why people leave this place in droves. Last time I checked my darkroom was loaded full of digital equipment, timers, densitometers, color computers all 20 years old the most recent addition is a computer. Yawn. So long everybody. |
