I'm joining the forum in hopes to learn more about photography. I caught a bit of a bug shooting with the Pentax k1000. After getting a few rolls of film developed after a trip recently, I thought my money would be better spent on the supplies I need to develop film myself. I just bought a bunch of stuff online (had to mix and match from Amazon and B&H because I wanted to get everything I needed). I'm sure I'll need more stuff in the future, but got the basics including chemicals, bags, tank, etc...I actually prefer color photos, but everything I got was for black and white because from everything I've read black and white can be more forgiving regarding time and temperature (I do intend on being exact, but it just seemed like the first step...am I wrong?).
I also intend on buying a scanner as well in the near future. I was thinking some like a Epson 600...something affordable but also capable of doing a good job. Reasonable, no?
My way of thinking is that this would be an economical way of processing the film - it'll pay for itself in no time if I'm developing enough. That way I can put all that money towards a better camera or other gear.
