Temperature was extremely critical with colour printing. I spent a fair bit on my hobby so didn't weaken with the above-mentioned evils again. Cost me heaps but have loved the hobby ever since.
Up until a month ago after moving into a retirement village just before Christmas!!
PS didn't find any ciggies thank God! Couldn't afford them now!
Aw, c'mon Kenj. You don't need a darkroom now. With a digital camera (or just a mobile phone) and a laptop you can still do great things. That way you can reward yourself with the odd tipple or three when your piccies come out as you want them.
I do have other cameras!
