Hi, I'm looking at buying some photography equipment as a present, I have come across this listing, but don't understand if its good or not, and how much would it be worth as its up as offers. Any advice would be much appreciated!

This looks to be mostly left overs from someone who enlarged and developed their own prints. I guess you need to ask yourself if the person your buying for wants to actually do their own traditional photo prints, or if they're someone who might want to develop their film, scan it with a good scanner and let the camera shop make prints on pro equipment. I would go out on a limb here and say your friend might need more in the way of developing tanks, thermometers, graduated cylinders, chemical bottles, pipettes and stuff like that. Check out www.freestyle.biz for examples of stuff needed to develop negatives.

I'd say that batch of stuff is best left to someone who knows exactly what they are buying. Not a very "gift" idea there, unless you know that's exactly what they want.
