a.RodriguezPix, i think you\'re over thinking this. just go crank out a couple of rolls man. don\'t get analysis paralysis.
Well, I finally did it, after more than way to many months, I finally tested out a roll of Kodak T-Max on my Mamiya RB-67 wit the Mamiya Sekor C f/3.8 90mm lens! I owe a lot of thanks to carstenw, as he explained a lot of this to me, many, many, moons ago, when I was fortunate to have my Rollei 6008 Pro., however, I lagged way to long, and never shot a roll of film with it! Well I used the 5 exposures fairly easily, so, I fear some may have been lost, due to incompetence! The rest, will most likely be lost still, due to photographing my usual subjects. Thanks again everyone for your time, and encouragement, my next step is to get these developed, and then think what to shot next, once I see the results! This may result in the saddest use of Kodak 5 Rolls Kodak Tri-X 120 Black & White Print Film ISO 400!!
Developing film yourself is super, Super, SUPER easy. You need very little equipment and not much skill!
You need a tank and reel, $40 or so.
A thermometer.
A few measuring jugs.
A bottle of developer.
A bottle of fixer.
A bottle of vinegar.
A timer.
A shirt hanger.
Some clothes pins.
A sink with running water.
A room that can be dark for 5 mins.
That\'s it!
It is sooooooooo easy. I wish I learned this decades ago.
Not that I\'m a freak, but, re any of these carcinogenic, or skin eating?
People have been developing film for over 100 years. There are tens of thousands of people in the US alone having fun doing this. What are you worried about??
