I'm currently enrolled in a 35mm film photography class at our local community college. We were given Vivitar cameras with a 50mm F/1.8 lens. The darkroom has about 10 enlargers. They also offer a color 35mm class, which utilizes a different darkroom. They also have a large format photography course, and I'm told a medium format class. I've also been told that a new building is being built and they'll leave the color film class behind, when that happens. I'm not in the program, but it looks like it is mostly digital, but if you wish, you can spend quite a bit of time with film. -- Kent Brede http://kentonbrede.com/ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
