My first ever 4x5 negatives look good! 8:50 in stock Ilford ID-11. It takes at least 1 minute to pour the developer in the small spout of the Combiplan tank. Some spilling, but in the end I just about had enough with 800ml and rotating the tank sideways (good to keep track on which side you placed the film).
Here are 2 building negatives drying in the holder. I can't scan them yet, since I own a medium format scanner. Perhaps in 2 passes?

Friday, 31st of January: I dropped the negatives off to be scanned by Key Color.

All you need to develop black and white or color film, from 135 to 120/220 or 4x5 sheet film. What you need apart from this is a dark room (as in "you shouldn't be able to see your hand in front of your face if you hold it a few centimeters away" – a windowless toilet will do), a working surface that is easy to clean (stainless steel will do it, I use the kitchen surfaces for this), and a kitchen sink for the color developing in order to keep the chemicals at an even temperature. You will also need a timer – a watch with a seconds hand will do the trick too.
Lots of notes in this shot, if you're interested. Make sure to check them out if you're curious about the various things on display (you need to click on the image in order to see the notes).
The equipment is not that expensive either. The prize here is the Paterson Orbital for 4x5 sheet film developing; if you find one (try eBay, you can't buy them new any longer: more info here – pig.sty.nu/wiqi/paterson_orbital.html – a good introduction, though you can use a lot less developer in reality) it will set you back anything from 40 dollars to a 100 – but then, if you're into large format photography this is not a large expenditure compared to the costs of cameras and lenses and film … the bottles, the jugs, the thermometers, the Paterson film tank – all these are affordable items easy to find second hand.
And it's much, much easier to develop C-41 film at home than people say. And cheap! I'm estimating a cost of SEK 10 per roll (SEK 5 per 135 roll, even), which compares to the minilab's price of SEK 59 per roll (SEK 118 for 220 film). This would sound more expensive translated to dollars, as the exchange rate is not flattering the dollar at the moment: but SEK 10 will buy you $1.50, give or take. It's that cheap.

Fujifilm Pro 160NS - Mamiya M645
I was near burn-out, so I took a couple of days off and start building a new pinhole camera. I am building a pinhole camera, this time a stereoscopic one. This is the first set of pieces cut before adjusting and assembly. Of course, as much as possible, out of “bad wood”!

J’étais au bord du surmenage, alors j’ai pris quelques jours de congés et j’ai commencé la construction d’un nouveau sténopé, stéréoscopique, cette fois. Voilà le premier jeu de pièces coupées avant ajustage et assemblage. Bien sûr, autant que possible à partir de “mauvais bois” !

Estaba al borde de la sobrecarga, pués cogí un par de días y empece a construir una nueva cámara estenopeica, esta vez estereoscopia. Es el prime juego de piezas cortadas antes del ajuste y del ensamblaje. Claro tanto como sea posible a partir de. “mala madera”!
