I’ve taken it up from scratch a couple of years ago, it’s an enjoyable but time consuming habit (which I’m still rubbish at)
film, self process use rollei retro 100 or 400s, get a film change bag, a film opener, a paterson tank and a few chemicals and and a thermometer and you are off
scan the negatives, I find the scanner harsh but good for neg selection
I’d get a cheap (they can’t give away the cheaper durst’s) enlarger, a few trays and the chemicals (and the other bits)
there’s nothing like an evening with a good malt nice tunes locked away in the dark room
once the habit bites you can then get the good stuff (lietz focomat enlarger, nova deep tanks, RH metering) 😉
ignore the digital crowd, and enjoy the world of film
cameras:
slr: get prime lens’
get a small compact: olympus XA is great (don’t get the 1 or 2) 3 is ok 4 is rocking horse poo
get a retro rangefinder: Yashica Electro 35 GTN recomended (make sure it has the battery conversion)
