Well I found an undeveloped roll of 160c from last year and used it for my very first at-home rollfilm c41 processing. Minor cursing and scratches aside, I ended up with a decent result.
Maybe somebody can explain to me how the hell to [patiently] get the roll film onto a processing spool!!! I can't seem to do it reliably even when I practice with lights on! For now I am sticking to sheet film....
"Practice makes perfect" yeah, yeah, yeah I don't wanna practice!
Thanks for the tip Vinny, that sounds like it might help a lot. I haven't tried plastic spools actually, the one I used is metal. I have some plastic ones around though; are they easier?
