New Toy, Calumet C2 Roll Film Back

WE GOT IN A NEW TOY… um… TOOL!!!

We just bought a Calumet C2 Roll Film back for the Calumet 4×5 C400 large format view camera. This uses 120 film, so basically, we’re using a crop sensor!  Right? (a bit of a joke there, large format camera shooting medium format film… Ha!)

It will take 10 shots on a standard roll of 120, so we will try it out sometime after it comes in… oh, lemme check the porch…
                                                                                      …drat, no same-day delivery.

 

Of course, we can process B&W 120 here at Kentucky Darkroom, so I bet there will be a lot of foolin’ around goin’ on when it comes in!

 

Um, who wants to play?

Kentucky Darkroom is Processing! Bring your Black and White Film!

parham New Products, News

Yep, you read it right!

Kentucky Darkroom is not only open for membership, but we are processing Black and White (B&W) film and either scanning the negatives or sending the negatives to you!

See the B&W Processing page for the costs and how to submit. Instructions are also at the drop box, located in the Lower Level Lobby of the Professional Heights building. The address is 2387 Professional Heights Drive, the road off Lowry Lane that you get to Trader Joe’s from. Just don’t turn into Traders Joe’s but keep going. It’s on the lower level of the last building on the left. The lobby is open on Weekdays from 7:30 to 6:30 and Saturdays from 8:00 AM to noon.

Here’s a map.

Hey Film Fanatics,

Kentucky Darkroom will soon be offering black-and-white film processing.   The drop box will be on the lower level of the building our darkroom is in, 2387 Professional Heights Dr.  You’ll be able to go to the drop box, get an envelope that has the order form in it, complete the form, put it in the envelope along with the film, and drop it in the box.

We will process your film and if you want, scan the negatives.   We can even submit the scans to Murphys for printing for you to pick up in three days or so*.   If you want, we can mail you the negatives and put the scans up on KyDarkroom.com and email you a link to the zip file with your scans.

Watch here for the announcement.  The black-and-white film processing will be within two weeks.

 

 

 

*You pay Murphy’s directly for the prints.

Hey,
Last week I ventured up into deepest Hoosier territory and picked up a Beseler 23c with Condenser Color Head. Now I don’t know how to use it yet, but with some help from Jeff Botts and YouTube I hope to figure it out. We will also offer color film developing chemistry fairly quickly!

 

Lookin forward to learning how to do color printing!!

Hello World

parham News

Hello from the brand new (or perhaps revived) Kentucky Darkroom from Utopia Imagery Studios. We’re glad to be back in the mix and starting to once again offer film photography classes. We’re not able to do even more with a dedicated darkroom right here in Lexington KY.

This reopened darkroom will offer the same equipment as before, but even more! We’re centered around a Beseler 23 C enlarger for printing and several Peterson Film tanks for developing up to 120 film.
