Darkrooms
The Camera Club has four separate darkrooms for individual working, grouped around a general area containing RC and FB driers and two film driers. A print finishing room includes a lightbox, trimmer and counters for retouching. The individual darkrooms are equipped with De Vere enlargers to allow you to produce prints using 35mm, medium or large format negatives up to 10×8 inch.
Please note that the darkrooms are only available to Club Members. All new members must be accredited before booking the darkrooms. Anyone using the darkrooms must adhere to the Club Rules & Policies.
You can also become accredited by attending one of our training courses.
PLEASE NOTE: Darkroom 4 is currently out of action whilst we source replacement parts for the machinery.
