Question WTB: Looking for Free Darkroom Equipment - 01-21-2010, 04:01 PM


I am new on here and trying to help out my 13 yr old daughter. She is really getting into her photography and has expressed that she wants to start developing her own film and printing them. If anyone has any darkroom equipment that they can part from for free, we would greatly appreciate it. It doesn't need to be very expensive equipment but it does need to work for her to play around with and learn from.

So sorry, I'd have been happy to part with what I had, but my parents cleaned out all my old darkroom equipment without telling me when they were putting their house on the market. Hopefully, someone will have something or I'd also search ebay and/or the local classified ads.

if valerie can't help you out, i would search craigslist.

you'll most likely have to buy an enlarger, but haggle with the person selling it. that's what we did and we walked away with a nice enlarger cheap and all the goodies.

good luck. i would help you out, but we passed all our surplus on...
