mrboulard-
I am honored :-)
I used the new Yashica Lynx 14e I got to shoot the test roll. It's big, it's heavy but my oh my is that 1.4 lens nice to look into. Not sure I'll keep it as the all-on-the-lens control system is a bit sensitive - the aperture ring has no clicks so it's very easy to nudge by accident, as is the shutter speed ring... but I like the rangefinder concept. It's very easy to focus quickly vs an SLR in my opinion.

A probably very crude first development. Not sure if they're properly developed as I'm yet to buy a scanner, but conceptually that wasn't hard.
I wanted it to be as cheap as possible, so I bought some D76 as it was $6 and makes up 3.8 litres of developer. I was impatient though. The water had to be 55 degrees to disolve the developer and it was taking aaaages to cool down, so I think I developed at 25 instead of the advised 20, and adjusted the time according to a table I found online. All in all though - very easy and straight forward. I forgot to buy fixer though - not needed for this test roll but the necessities were only $65 which I thought was good. I didn't need a change bag as my bathroom goes completely pitch black. Thanks for the answers up thread anyone who helped.
