I worked in a camera store which did developments as a teenager and I was the lackey who had to empty all the various tanks with used developer etc. some of that stuff was nasty - digital is a lot cleaner that's for sure!

I can relate to that, I`am a Film Technician by trade, we used to fast process 16mm reversal for news teams, the sewers of Birmingham are lined in silver..

Haha.. We had special processing/collection reservoirs so (I think!) nothing made its ways into the sewers thankfully. However, even with the mask I had to wear some of those fumes when emptying the tanks made me feel a bit... funny shall we say

Great article, I've still got my 35mm SLR (Ricoh KR-5) but can't see myself ever using it again. I'm sure I've got some rolls of Ilford XP2 packed in a box somewhere!

I had a KR10 after I sold my Pentax ME Super - loved the Pentax hated the Ricoh. Would have liked something more exotic but could never afford it!! Now I'd rather spend any surplus on bikes!!

Remember my first enlarger was a Gnome Beta that I'd borrowed, then a cheap eastern European jobbie with acetate filters for colour. Now I've got a Durst with dial in filters and no time to use it!!
