So, like 16 years ago, I bought all the junk for developing B&W and... never did it. It all got lost or thrown away in the intervening years.

With winter coming, I thought it would be fun to dust off the old Nikon and try again. Was nervous about it, but ended up being way easier than I'd anticipated. Practiced rolling the film into the reel twice. Once outside the bag and once inside. Then developed two real rolls of film. All went very smoothly! The bag is way less of a pain than I'd anticipated.







I don't have a macro lens for my DLSR. Or a light box. So, I'm thinking of just grabbing a scanner. Is the Plustek OpticFilm 8200i SE fine? That's the best seller on B&H.

Happy with the PlusTek 8200i. This is all auto settings:
