The Darkroom Handbook

I just started getting back into film, and got this as an instructional manual to help me figure out the myriad chemicals and processes involved. This book does a great job of giving an overview of the process, and then going into greater detail to tweak darkroom processes. It's one of the best books on the topic I've ever seen. The only criticism I have is that it doesn't lay flat when you open it, but that's really pretty minor. I'm very glad I bought.

Had me dreaming of setting up my own darkroom again.

I am a first time know anything about negatives or what is involved and this was a great start. I gave it a 4 star because it is a great beginning and really wasn't sure if it needed a 5 star since I am a novice. I recommend the book to anyone that is a beginner.

Michael Langford's Darkroom Handbook has it all -- in clear, easy-to-read text and excellent photo examples. This is the book for someone serious about setting up a darkroom and starting to develop and print either B&W or color film, negative or transparency. In addition, a wide range of printing techniques and specialty methods are discussed and described, as well. Lots of good refresher information on techniques and methods for the experienced print-maker, too.

I just started a class on black and white film developing/darkroom, and I wanted a book that I could read to help put together what I was learning in the class (there is no text for this class).this book has all details, and is a good companion for the class, I found it to be well done and well written.

Haven't done darkroom work since the 70's.Decided to resume printing photos and thoughtit a good idea to get a reference book.I can't remember everything!Glad to have it. Easily searchable, comprehensive andnot too wordy. A good reference book.

The information in this box is priceless. This is the go to book for my darkroom needs.

Wonderful old school book very valuable information.

Muy bien cuidado y el contenido del libro excelente. Muy recomendable

Item as described. Come in a good condition.

Tratta sia bianco e nero che il colore a partire dalle basi fino alle techine avanzate di sviluppo e stampa.Acquistato usato ma in ottimo stato

Bon livre, tout en anglais, mais très bien expliqué, avec beaucoup d'illustrations et parfait pour qui veut se mettre ou se remettre au labo argentique. Les ouvrages sur ce sujet deviennent rares! Explique l'équipement requis, le développement des films et le tirage sur papier à l'agrandisseur. Ce livre est bourré de conseils utiles mais comporte à mon avis un trop gros chapitre sur les effets spéciaux (photo argentique) en laboratoire. Sans doute utile si on s'y intéresse, mais ce n'est pas mon cas.

Michael Langford is a much celebrated photographer and darkroom technician. I bought this book for my granddaughter who has just started a photography course. Michael's well written and comprehensive guide will be invaluable to her.
