it's a start

I'm thinking about jumping from lab development to the home development ... these kind of threads are dangerous ....

I'm looking for someone who can teach me "how to" ...
Ciao

You do not need a teacher. Get some D76 or Ilfosol S, Stopbath and Fixer, a tank and some rolls of film like HP 5 or TriX. Then shoot some rolls and to develop them following the Ilford guides.
After a few rolls you will ask yourself why you paid labs at all....

Have fun

There's nothing like those big, multi-roll developing tanks.
How else can one ruin so many rolls all at once? ;)

I hope the "soup" comes out good...

12 rolls at once! I hardly get to more than 3 before I simply "need" to develop them! Sometimes it's just one roll in my little single tank. Hmmm, I think I have three waiting right now....
 
I've never ruined a roll with chemicals. I've ruined rolls by loading them badly.... but that stopped once I got the Hewes reels.

:D:D:D joe you are extremely funny sometimes.

However i can't understand you. I could not go to sleep like this!
 
it's just one of the adorable quirks that people love about me...;)

i'm happy getting the image on film, when i get to see that image is less important to me. the key is to shoot and less so to process.
i can always throw some chemicals in a tank but the shot can only be taken once.

maybe it's new to me that's why i am so excited about it. And i don't have a backlog from the eighties to develop :p
 
Just one of the many things that change once you get older, Pherdinand! :)

I just finished developing 3 rolls of 120 B+W in Rodinol, taken with my Rolleiflex yesterday. Shots of my kids and shots of a neighbour's child, destined to become Christmas presents for their respective moms.
