hello
ive shot a few rolls of film recently but the cost of developing them makes me want to have a go at it myself. ive aquired a load of developing gear from a family friend who was clearing out lots of old stuff belonging to her ex husband. some of it i know what it is, others not a clue!
i should be able to clear enough space in the attic of my house to atleast create a small area large enough to set up the equipment although without any headroom!
i want to develop black and white film, currently ive got a few rolls of HP5plus 400 and delta400
does anyone have any books they can recommend for developing film and creating prints, fairly basic please! cheers
so heres the gear please can people tell me whether its useful, what it is if my guess is wrong etc.
1.
seems to work, got all the instructions with it, spare bulb etc. the box at the front right is some sort of homemade timer, which switches the equipement on for a set period of time before switching it off again.
2.
black out bag, doesnt appear damaged although not a clue whether its actually light tight.
3.
measuring jugs and storage bottles etc
4.
hanging clips x9
5.
i presume this is some sort of slide cutter?
6.
developing tanks, ive got 2 single film ones and 1 2 film one, is there any sort of consensus on which one design is better?
7.
not a clue what this is!
8.
or this!

or this!
10.
lots of old chemicals etc, not too much use to me, although they might be of some use to someone else interesting in experimenting with out of date stuff!
