Tanks to Kona and Brendan for your efforts. I did some B&W but many years ago. I can get some expired B&W film that uses E6 processing and practice with that.

I don't imaging the deal is that much different when using negatives with say the C41 process. I just dropped off 9 rolls of film, and I'm guessing the cost will be about $75 (US funds) so it will add up over time. Yearly cost of maybe $3 to 500.00 with the addition of landscape shots.

It's one of those things - where I would probably still spend that amount with home processing, but it would allow me to shoot way more rolls of film for that amount of money. That's something to consider.

Other than that - what you guys are telling me is that with some practice there is no reason that this can't be done at home - with a minimum investment of say $350 with used equipment and a Kodak kit? Small area in the basement. A place to hide and enjoy this hobby (passion) in a new way.

Thanks guys and post if you think of anything else. Heck - if I got good at it I could do a part time business with E6 processing? It would beat going to work part time - semi retired I am.
