Instant returns in our world today--seems to have lost an essential part of life.
In the dark room watching and reviewing and burning and dodging and trying again--to finally come out with just the right print!
That was worth waiting a whole week just to get a couple of hours' access to the darkroom.
And one other feature of those days--the awesome Pentax film cameras!
Open the clean simple back (no buttons or gadgets or wheels on it) and thread in a 36-exposure spool of Pan-X.
Then, back home, spending a frustrating hour with my hands stuck into a dark-bag trying to thread that spool onto a developing reel!
Nothing instant about it!
Good times!
