I've kept my darkroom just to process my 4x5 B&W negs; since I don't have a drumscan, I'm relying on my flatbed (at 4.2 Dmax that's not so bad) at the max resolution and double scans. Sure the digital files are huge but they are so great printed on paper; none of my digital taken pictures are close to the quality so…
I'm still working in the darkroom a bit.
As for Rolleiflex, must be the way it has to go; unfortunately my pockets aren't deep enough to buy the whole thing.

Yup I agree , but it's a sign of the times with everything that is going on
with digital. Sadly we'll likely see more of it as time goes on..

Anyway for the past couple of years I've been doing something a bit off the
wall and it has honestly helped me justify keeping that side of it going..
So I'd like to share that. I have only been doing it with 4x5 so far.. The
only images I am doing this with are images that are worth doing it with so
for me some of my best.. I scan the film or transparency and when I'm
satisfied with the file and the print I sign the film with a Sharpie….
