This is what happens when youā€™re too cheap to pay $12-20 a roll for someone else to develop for you

Flic Filmā€™s ECN-2 kit seems to be the best one Iā€™ve used so far. Previously, I bought random powders from strangers online and the results were varied :)

The prebath is really good and better than the washing soda / borax solution I previously used. I also donā€™t want to muck around with lye, which was the only ingredient I didnā€™t have from Kodakā€™s original recipe.

I have a huge bunch of vacation photos shot on film. It might be useful for me to do a post about cost of developing and scanning myself vs sending it to a lab (I already know it will cost around $300 to send the rolls I have to a lab)!

I have fresh color chemicals to mix up, so Iā€™m looking forward to it.

At the start of the year, I was a total n00b who was just getting back into film photography. I resolved to learn as much as I can.

In August 2023, Iā€™ve shot around 6000 frames of 35mm and 120 film; of which Iā€™ve developed maybe half of those myself.

I roll my own film, and know how to develop black and white, C-41, and ECN-2. Iā€™ve learned to print in a darkroom, and use every type of scanner.

Iā€™m happy with what Iā€™ve learned.

My wife is a home hacker / Daiso-fiend. She set up my film drying area for me with tension rods, hangers, clothespins (pegs).

I donā€™t have a darkroom, I use a dark changing bag to load film, then develop film over the sink. When done, I turn the shower on to steam up the shower area, then turn off; hang my film strips like this.

She made little curtains to hide my tanks and reels, as she finds them ugly šŸ˜

My favorite C41 kit is the Bellinifoto. Itā€™s very good.

Went to a union protest with a film camera. Developed three rolls in my bathroom. Will scan them tomorrow at the darkroom with a Frontier.

The remainder of my XTOL batch turned yellow. I guess it's time to try ADOX XT-3.

One more question about

I had another roll come out thin, but it doesn't seem to be a camera thing as the edge markings were looking thin also. Thoughts?

Very pertinent sign for the times in San Francisco.

Going to try to print my first BW print in a darkroom later.
