I am interested in both 35mm and medium format film developing, I've never done any film developing before.
I saw a guide for 35mm film development, though I'm not sure how the medium format process differs. My wife Louise actually is so on board with this idea that she said I could use the bathroom as a darkroom. (She actually said I could use my upstairs man cave first, but it has no running water!)
We have a shower room upstairs and a downstairs bathroom rarely used except for guest toilet access. I'm not sure how light tight the room needs to be, but the window and under the door shouldn't be difficult to control, will the very very minor light through door edges cause a problem?
I post the images because I'd like to know if I'll have any issues with space.
Any general advice would be greatly received as well, I haven't looked into how 35 vs medium format developing changes.
Have heard of an enlarger, starting to have a vague idea of how it works - and it already raises the question of that versus scanner to PC?
A thought just struck me - If I stick Philips hue bulbs in the ceiling and set them to red would that cover me for lighting, or does it need to be a special bulb.
