Thanks for the info...I think I'll give it a whirl...

We need more people in the Brotherhood. I hope your first print session is as exciting as your first film (it will be, don't worry)! Incidentally, if Darth Vader had a personal photographer, would his name be Dar-Kroom?
Apologies for the crap pun, warmest regards, BLIGHTY

I have many and sundry copies. When I get a chance, I'll copy/ something - one of them and post it. It is no more difficult than black and white.

joyek49,

I'm struggling with time.

Tell you what .. PM me your snail mail address and I'll mail some of the extra copies I have.

Ed, your post leads me to my next question...How tuff is c-41 to do???

At least half of the b/w film I shoot is c-41, especially the 120...I'd luv for it to be my next endeavor...

Hope you don't mind if I jump in here on this one, first of all congratulations on your first roll!! Secondly I didn't see any reply to the color development question, it isn't that difficult. I remember my first c-41 roll I was all kinds of nervous, but alll you have to do is keep it all in the correct temperature, and keep the bleach and fixer from the developer, oh and faithful agitation for that 3'15" and you are in business. I processed my first c-41 roll in the kitchen, had to be careful of the staining of the counter. Anyway I hope this lends some help in you development quests. Happy processing!

Of course don't forget E-6 that is a reward all its own.

It was magic the first time I did it 30 years ago and it's still magic today.

Have fun.

I started by doing E-4. All you need is a tank and reel, a thermometer and a graduate. What a joy to pull the reel out of the tank and take that first peek at your wet trannies against a light. When it's dry just cut and mount it and you are done.

A quick and easy intro into home darkroom. It also disciplines you to taking critical care in your processing methods.
