First time processing film...

[jky]

... in 15 years.

I finally bought an M6 this past August, but after a few months I realized how much my wallet took a hit! At a decent lab, it cost $15.00/roll to process & print XP2

so...


The other day I downloaded the pdf file from Ilford re: BW processing, bought a change bag, a tank & reel, bought the chemicals the Ilford document suggested (DDX - a little pricier than others), borrowed some cylinders & a thermometer, read & read about the procedure. This afternoon, I took over the kitchen & voila!!.... two rolls of Delta 100 hanging in the bathroom... & as far as I can tell, the negs look somewhat decent...

Now I just have to buy a scanner.... just a one-shot expense thank goodness!

Thanks to the wonderful posts here in this forum (Leica M & Processing)...
Cheers, j

wow sounds really cool.i want to buy a M6 and develope my stuff at home right from the beginning.it's just to expensive to develope it at a pro lab.and you have much more control developing it on your own.

cheers
