  • My knee is a bit fucked and I cant cycle as much as I want to so I want to process B&W film and get a cheap setup together; where do I start? I will only be doing 120mm film; only HP5 and would like to do 3 rolls at once. Will be digitising myself with a digital camera.

  • Dev tank that can take 3 spools
    3 spools
    Some graduated flasks (one big enough for the full capacity of the tank I guess).
    Dark bag.
    Chemicals. The Ilford set is a good starter (3 bottles, not the single use set).
    3 bottles for storing chemicals. I use 1l flip top IKEA glass bottles. Drawing the graduations on the side in marker pen.

  • Thank you very much for this.

    I have done dev at home in the past; we were living in a tiny flat with really small kitchen. Now I have space :)
