I did quite a bit of film photography about 15 years ago. Decided to dig my cameras out and try my hand at developing and scanning some B&W film.

I originally thought I'd bought the Lomography Berlin, but I now see I bought the Babylon which is ISO 13 ๐Ÿ˜…. Guess I'm buying a cable release and borrowing a tripod for that one. Unless we get unusually sunny weather here in Oslo. Fortunately I have two camera bodies and loaded the other with Kodak 400 TX.

Will be interesting to see how badly these turn out.

Planning on purchasing this starter kit from a local photography store. They also develop B&W, but I'd start saving money pretty quickly by doing it myself. I did develop some film back in 2005 or something like that, but I don't remember much of it. I expect to mess it up the first couple of times!

After that I'll be scanning myself. So after getting that kit, it should hopefully not be to expensive a hobby in the long run.

Are you planning to scan with a digital camera?

I'm sure you will do great. If you haven't already check out massive Dev chart. I use the app "film developer pro" for my timer. It pulls times and temps from massive Dev chart. Let's you set up a process chain of timers and beeps at you to agitate. Etc.
