Yes, a good bit. I was recently volunteered to be the
"Responsable" of the darkroom.
Last year, it and just me and Régis using it all. I used the Durst M601 most of the time ... since I have the same in my home. This fall, I used a bit more my silver Krokus 69 to print some MF. It is in the club's lab because I needed to make space to paint/finish electricity in my home darkroom. I develop my film at home. This weekend I tested (6X6 neg) the club's donated Krokus 69 and it works fine now.
I have also "recruited" for the club's darkroom ... two friends that were with me at a previous darkroom run by an association until they closed it to make a photcopier room. And word-of-mouth apparently got around, since we've had a few inquiries and several truly new members, too ... a Minolta SRT 101 shooter ... plus a mother and teenage daughter duo.
I taught the daughter how to develop B&W film in the lab last month and I oversaw them this last weekend while they printed the 135 that they developed previously. The mother used to develop and print long ago, but she had forgotten a lot and needed a refresher course, etc.
Cheers, J
