Hello Godfrey, Your message couldn't be more timely.
I have just finished a (forgotten) roll of film in my Bessa R3A with a Nokton Classic 40mm f/1.4. To my surprise, I could not find anywhere around developing the (C41) film in it. Now I got a Tetenal kit to develop it at home. I just need to make a constant temperature bath. Even its parts are ready... I am thinking of going more analog, including alternative processes and pinhole. Essentially, I shoot only for myself. It is good to be able to share some photos but I get maximum satisfaction while shooting. A good print is a bonus. I have nothing to prove to anyone; this is not a "job". Now that you asked, I see I have only two prints hanging in my room. One B&W (which I had printed years ago) and a cyanotype (likewise). They are not exceptional in any regard, by the way. I hope I can shoot more. A happy new year to you and to all the PDML people.
