Hey guys
So I've kind of decided that I want to play around with my grandfathers old MF Ikoflex. But, I want to develop and scan the film myself both because of the fun and because of the cost of having it done at a lab.
I did a bit of developing when I was in school a bit more than 10 years ago, so it is safe to say that I don't remember a single thing except what some of the equipment looks like. 🙂
I've been trying to figure out what I need to start, but it just seems like jungle of what chemistry to choose etc.
So I wanted to ask if someone kindly could help me out with what to buy. At this stage quality is of secondary importance, it is much more important that I can figure out what to buy and how to use it rather than getting amazing results at this stage.
I'll probably buy ISO 100 T-MAX or something which I think is readily available here for MF, but then after that I am pretty much in the dark.
I know I need that little box with the spindle to put the film in when pouring the developer etc and I kind of can figure out that I need a temperature meter and something to mix in and so on.
But, for the film mentioned, what kind of chemistry do I need? Developer? Fixer? Which one should I go for (something common is better as there is bigger chance of me managing to find it here).
Really, anything is helpful, I have no idea how I would chose developers between all different brands and variations etc..
Thanks guys!
