Consistency, accuracy, using good materials and taking care with them as well as one's process - these are critical to success in photography
Accordingly, I always observe the niceties of film development.
I spent 20 minutes trying to wrestle a springy strip of 16mm film onto a FSU reel, before losing my rag and smooshing it into the bottom of the tank and hoping for the best. Then I found some PQ under the sink that was going a bit brown and diluted it 1+9 or something with water straight from the tap. It was definitely at a temperature, I can guarantee that. Developed for 12mins giving it some swizzling about every minute or so. Fixed for as long as I could be arsed, which wasn't very, as I was also making a salad for supper at the same time. Left it to wash while I was blanching some broad beans.
Later on I'll scan it with my digital scanner and see what came out....
