SAFRA darkroom facilities enquiries

[West_ray]

I wanna get my hands on the prints. Dont think of getting an enlarger (as of now) as it isnt tat practical for me though.

I have look through a few reputable places like PSS, PAS and SAFRA that offers darkroom facilities for members.

I have narrow down my choices to SAFRA as they have a new darkroom with 15 enlargers and etc.

But before i commit myself to their membership scheme, I would like to find out more from the existing members who are in this forum regarding the facilities.

- Do I have to join their BW courses ($126) before I can use their darkroom facilities?
- What are the equipments they provide beside enlargers ? e.g. timers, easel, developing equipments and etc.
- What is the time allocate for each booking of darkroom? (I assume ONE booking per enlarger).

Hopefully someone can enlighten me with the qns mentioned above. Lastly, can I take a short tour around the darkroom before commiting myself?

Thanks in ad ...

PS: I have emailed the person in charge, but it always takes about 3 days to reply me and often, without the ans to my qns.

Why don't you just call them? If they're not around, leave a message and they'll get back to you.

yah lor, then darkroom should be very big one ..... or many small darkrooms

Hee~! Keep me informed, would yar? My own darkroom isn't complete yet to do any proper printing... would be especially interested if their enlarger could print anything bigger than 6x7.

Hi, like the thread starter mentioned, they do not normally reply to email.... You need to be a SAFRA member before you can join the Photographic Club from what I knew of from an earlier call with them last week. You might want to call them up for more information, their guy seems quite polite although not much information I could get.

 

[reachme2003]

the new guy is brian. not familiar yet, i supposed, also slow or does not respond to email.

Yeps, U need to join SAFRA, then join the Photo Club.

Not to sure abt now but it used to a be a good deal because with this membership and proof that u can handle darkroom equipment, use of the darkroom equipment as well as chemicals is free as long as you are a member throughout the year.

It is a good deal because the SAFRA fee $36 and PC fee $18 can only pay for 2-3 hrs of use anywhere else.
