Haha.. We had special processing/collection reservoirs so (I think!) nothing made its ways into the sewers thankfully. However, even with the mask I had to wear some of those fumes when emptying the tanks made me feel a bit... funny shall we say :shock:

I had a KR10 after I sold my Pentax ME Super - loved the Pentax hated the Ricoh. Would have liked something more exotic but could never afford it!! Now I'd rather spend any surplus on bikes!!

Remember my first enlarger was a Gnome Beta that I'd borrowed, then a cheap eastern European jobbie with acetate filters for colour. Now I've got a Durst with dial in filters and no time to use it!!
