Zoom In closing down & shutting up shop auction
« on: December 14, 2011, 04:34:36 PM »
Sadly, another darkroom closes..

Zoom In in Oval is closing down. it's such a shame as its a great space, great people - but I guess they just can't make the numbers work any more.

They're holding a closing down auction on Saturday 17th December at 2pm (at their premises http://www.zoom-in.org/zoom-in/zoom-in-contact.html ) which will include:

FILM SLR CAMERAS
Includes Canon EOS, Pentax K1000, Praktica M42, lenses, filters and accessories, etc.....

ENLARGERS
5 Durst M670 colour enlargers, 5 Durst M670 black & white enlargers, 1 Durst M605 colour enlarger, 1 Durst M707 colour enlarger, 1 Laborator 1200 6x7 colour enlarger

LENSES
28 enlarger lenses ranging in focal length from 40mm to 150mm, the fastest lenses are f2.8, the slowest are f5.6. Manufacturers include Nikon, Schneider-Kreuznach, Rodenstock, Fuji, Osawa, and Durst.

MISCELLANEOUS ACCESSORIES
There is a large number of processing and printing supplies. These include easels, focus finders, contact printers, developing trays (10x8 to 16x20) processing tanks, reels, graduated cylinders and water jugs, darkroom stools, etc.....

Might be a chance to pick up a few bargains if anyone is in the area..  and a chance for them to recoup some losses.

Sorry if I should have put this in the trade section, but I figured it might get overlooked before auction takes place. Feel free to move if necessary.

I'm guessing this is some place far away from me.

Thanks Suzi, so much lovely stuff !!!

Start work on my darkroon in Jan/Feb but doubt I can do the Oval on Sat. Hope it goes to good homes.

That's a great sink, drying cupboards & lightbox all crying out for a Filmwaster ...

If I had the room for it I'd be straight down there as I've used all their stuff..

Could be worth it!
Except I don't see how I'd manage to bring a stainless sink as carry-on luggage  ;D
