This is my first thread and at the same time my first post here... 😱 so hi to you all first! 😛 This is a great forum.
Actually, I am not a rangefinder-user yet, but I have the intention to get a nice portable fixed lens RF as soon as a good opportunity shows up. (Buy in japan?...)
I have the pleasure to be able to study for about one year in Osaka, Japan - starting next October. I started to develop and print my own b/w film just a couple of months ago and I'm really excited about it. Of course I would like to continue over there, which leads to my question: Are there any cheap shared darkrooms in Osaka? Up to now I have been using one at my university for a couple of bucks a day, including all facility and chemistry (I'm using my own film developer though), which is very convenient. I will be staying at the dorm of the university and possibly on a homestay sometime, so even developing the film on my own might not be possible.
As I am studying japanese the language shouldn't be a problem anymore after maybe one or two months.
A couple of people in this forum seem to live in Japan, that's why I am asking here... Of course any other tips and hints about photography in japan are very welcome as well!
