blue squares posted:Is developing your own film at home hard? Is it really error-prone, easy to gently caress up your prints? I will only speak to bw film because I will never dev my own colour. It's very easy! I do it in my kitchen. But can be complicated because of how many options and combination you can choose from. I made it very simple for myself - only 1 developer. I don't care to experiment with any other process because what I have works very well for me and I get the results that I want. I will be switching to a new developer when I run out of this one. The learning curve is honestly not big at all. I only messed up 1 roll. My first few came out perfect. I'd say, before you dive into developing at home, buy a roll of 35mm (i love tmax, hate how expensive it is, hp5 is a good trix alternative). Then try to scan at home, and see how annoying it is. Scanning is super annoying. If you love the results enough and don't mind the scanning/processing workflow, you could get the items you need to dev at home. e: I'm scanning film right now I developed last night.

blue squares posted:Why is scanning so unenjoyable? cutting the film, then putting it on the holder, blowing it to de-dust it, putting it in the scanner, dusting again, preview, re-align if needed, select frame, scan, slow. Move onto next frame - preview, scan, slow. Repeat. I used to have to de-dust all scans in LR when I had them devved at a lab but since I switched to developing at home, I have barely any dust that end up in the final scan.

My 2 reel tank says 500ml but I always put 600ml. Once I had bubble shadows show up on my negs which was due to lowered volume in the tank because of a leak I assume. Switched to 600 and I've never had that issue before.

A Konica Hexar AF is fairly affordable (700-900cad) I have one and use it and love it, but you gotta be really okay with its limitations - 1/250th top speed, annoying button layout (if you constantly fiddle with settings this cam will be annoying to use). The pros are a great lens and lightning fast AF.
