DIY Film Developing

All the things I ordered to be able to develop black and white film came in today (February 10th, 2010). Pictured here is the Kodak D-76 developer and Kodak fixer, along with a Patterson Universal tank and a good thermometer. I also got some Ilford Ilfostop stopbath and Kodak Photo-Flo 200 for the other steps. Also, I got some Ilford ID-11 and Ilford fixer so I could try them out and compare the results with the Kodak chemicals. While I was at it, I also added in a generous selection of black and white films, 100 and 400 ISO, in 135 and 120 sizes. Since the Patterson tank can develop both, I have everything I need now.

 

It's been almost 30 years since I last developed film and I'm anxious to get my hands back into the process. As of midnight, I had my first roll of Fomapan Classic black and white film developed and hanging to dry. Can't wait to scan the negatives and post them here on Flickr.
