Hot on the heals of the Fuji Acros announcement I get a nice email from Dave Gooding, who runs DLG Electronics in the UK. You may remember last year he kindly offered my readers a 10% introductory discount on their new Compensating Development Timer. Now he’s back with another great offer!  Here is what Dave sent me:

“Michael,

If you are interested we are now producing a brand new enlarger timer. This is designed as a no-nonsense and robust, yet fully-featured unit with switched outputs for enlarger and safelight. Timing 0-99s at 0.1s resolution or 0-999s at 1s resolution.

It was your latest blog post on film photography being very much alive that reminded me to let you know.

I will provide the same 10% discount to your readers if you think this is of interest. Free shipping in UK, EU and Australia.

There’s also a US version with US-style outlet sockets marketed under the CatLABS brand.

I hope this is of interest!

Thanks Dave for another generous offer for our readers!  But more importantly, thank you for designing and manufacturing important new products for today’s darkroom enthusiasts!

Together, with the recent Acros announcement, this is further proof that black and white analog photography is indeed alive and well. Even some of my dedicated digital user students are dusting offer their old 35mm film cameras and jumping into the pool!

Far from gloom and doom, these are exciting times for all of us!
