Hi,

Recently I moved to the Canary Islands-Spain and now I want to set up a darkroom here. As I do not know a good photography shops with a lot of darkroom equipment on the Island (La Palma), I want to buy via the internet. I know B&H (New York) but are there similar European shops which sell new and second hand stuff and with a large catalog on the net? I had some problems with customs before so now I prefer to order in the European Union. I also have to rely on such a supply for film/paper/chemicals.

Any advice on enlargers is also welcome. I'm limited in space (bathroom setup) but want to print 35mm and 6x6. I used to print on a condenser system, but now I lean more towards a diffuser system because I heard dust becomes a smaller problem.

Thanks,

Hi:

For getting used material use

For getting new material use

www.monochrom.de

I have only positive experiences, but carrier costs are relatively expensive.

I have also some british links if you like, but they are more expensive.
