Im quite excited about my first go at home developing😀

It's fun. I only started up again a few weeks ago after many years, can't stop me now.

Ah, Stu. It's a long, slippery slope you've started now. But there's no denying that it's a blast!! Once you get the hang of it, there's really not much to it surprisingly enough. Just make sure to use the chemicals in the correct order! 🙂 Seeing the images on film after opening the tank never gets old for me.

Just out of curiousity, what developer did you decide to go with? Doesn't really matter, just wondering. Have fun in any case!

Good luck!🙂

It's a blast pulling the film off the reel for the first time and seeing images!

I just started up again myself after almost 30 years -- the smell of the chemicals brought back some great memories. Including my younger sister pounding on the door of my "darkroom" -- the only downstairs bathroom!

Enjoy and don't forget to tell us how it went.
