I develop and scan one day a week. How many rolls I have depends on how many I've shot in the previous week.

Right now I have two rolls-1 120 color, 1 35mm b&w. Developing then tomorrow. Its been raining for a solid 4 or 5 days here, I usually have more
 
I had 180 about 5 months ago. Now I have 120. 90% of it is TX400. Most are from my (long) trip to Europe. When I got back, I had to hit the books in an attempt to graduate on time. No time to develop until rather recently.

5 rolls of kodachrome... I wish I could get them developed by myself. or in this city, or in this country, or in this continent...

I think it's part of the game with kodachrome: I enjoy the scenes a lot when I see them long after I shoot them...

Cheers,

Juan
 
None, but I think that's gonna change unless I plan to use a one shot developer like Rodinal or HC-110. My liter bottle of D-76 usually expiresa before I use it all so I think from now on I'll wait til I have 3 or 4 rolls shot up before I mix my chemicals. This way I can get more out of it. I really need to shoot more than I do....glad Spring is almost here!
 
[FONT=&quot]Presently, none.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]If I have a roll that requires developing I’ll sometimes wait till I have a second roll before processing both.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]At my pace, maybe I’ll develop once every two/three months.[/FONT]
 
Two - but only for a few days and they will be developed within the next few days. Do I consider this a 'negative' ? NO ! I like the anticipation not knowing just what is there then the careful process to hopefully reveal some nice images. That gives a satisfaction digital just can't come close to. Then I print them in the darkroom. Wonderful !
 
Voted 1-3 cause right now I just have 1, a roll of Reala. I had a few rolls of efke50 that I finally got done recently thanks to the heavy rain. Also finally got around to the 2 rolls of 120 that were sitting around for a couple of week.
 
I seem to save up around 15 rolls and develop them in batches of five based on the lighting conditions under which each was shot. After exposing the last shot on every roll, I consider the dominant light and mark the canister with the date, place, and whether it was "day", "night", "flash", etc. Over time, I've come up with processing times for each that generally meet with my satisfaction.

I enjoy processing film, but like to be pragmatic about how often I do it. I don't see this as a "negative" in the least.

Ta,
 
I had perhaps twenty rolls lying around for months, I wasn't sure whether to send them away for development, or to do it myself. In the end, I learned how to and did it myself.
 
None, except the one in camera. I try to soup my films as soon as possible. I'm constantly honing my shooting and development process. I shoot one film at the time. I also try to find recipes that enable short development time, like Rodinal 1:25/Neopan 400 that I've been using lately. The process works quite well for me.
 
I had 11 for over 8 years...Just last week I sent them to get developed only.. But, Now, I don't let the number get past 4, before I get them developed. The 11 rolls are of my son 😱

It can a burden just thinking about all the expence that has to go out. It was $10.00 a roll for dev/HR-scan CD only, $110.00, so I kept putting it off. But I have a 35mm scanner now, so it's $3.00 a roll now. Plus, I am not shooting 2+ rolls a week, maybe 1 a week at most. I use C41 films only.
 
About 70 or 80, mostly Pan F and Tech Pan from the late '80's.

Just remembered, also some 120 rolls from a little earlier .

One roll of tri-x that a friend shot at 6400. I've put off developing it for three years. Its been in the freezer ever since.

I recently moved and found an unprocessed roll of Tri-X from the late 1980's and recently ran it along with some newer films. Indeed the roll was fogged to high-heck, but the images were a fantastic discovery. It made me wonder how many SD/CF cards will be readable twenty years from now.
