1960 Canon P Rangefinder

My current Darkroom.

Very fortunate to have a second bathroom converted to a darkroom. Obviously quite limited space, especially the wet/print processing area. I can comfortably print  up to 16"x 12" which I good enough for me.  I load film here also (I can achieve total darkness) but then process in the kitchen – works well.

Durst 805 Condenser enlarger gives me 35mm, 6 x 4.5, 6 x 6, & 6 x 9mm negative facility.

Fuji 6x9 SW aka the "TEXAS LEICA"

Last year I had the opportunity to acquire a pristine Durst M805 condenser enlarger. I sold my M605 and now had the facility to use negatives from 35mm - 6x9.

I love using rangefinder cameras without the slap of an SLR mirror and although not exactly inconspicuous, it still has a lovely slick leaf shutter sound.

I bought this beast from Ebay Japan and was not disappointed in the great condition. 

I chose the SW with the 65mm lens (approx. 28mm on a 35mm camera) and it does not disappoint in terms of quality and sharpness.
