Hi Julia,
I'm a beginner too, and like the rest on here am passionate about
photography.
You will learn a lot here, but keep in mind that if it does not
involve Rollie, it's OFF TOPIC - or so we get reminded every so often.
A more civilized group you will not find, though some discussions do
heat up (and not being in the midst of them is quite fun).
Be sure to visit the group's flickr page:

I'm trying to learn how to develop and print as well, and finding a
darkroom has been very difficult - damn near impossible.
If you're near or in a big city your chances are much better at
finding instruction and/or time for rent in a darkroom.
If you're in the Boston/Providence area I can give you a couple of
leads.
For less than $250 you can buy an Epson 4490 scanner, and get set
scanning your Rollei's negs. It's not the best, but it works well
enough for web sharing, and in some cases rather excellent digital
printing - for starters it's great.
Process only of my negs costs just under $5 per roll at my local
"pro" camera shop.
Good luck and welcome.

Hello everyone,
I'm Julia, a new subscriber. I have a passion for photography and
want to learn as much as I can... (I don't want to learn much about
digital photography. I like the old fashioned kind better, although
I must admit that digital photography is truly practical). I have
not taken any classes. I wish to find one that will teach me what I
want to learn... I'd love to have a dark room--and know what to do
with it... how to develop my own pictures... and although there's
reading material out there on the matter, I fear that I need "hands
on" to learn.
I own a Rolleiflex. Bought it on Ebay. I treasure it, but know
nothing about it, really.
Maybe I will learn from your more experienced minds.
