hi, i'm looking to start doing some B&W processing myself
and would be interested in getting a kit for this purpose.
What I'm looking for, according to a B&W photo book I
recently read, are the following:

. Tank (wide mouth) and reels (plastic or Hewe brand stainless steel.)
. thermometer.
. film squeegee(?)
. water hose for film tank.
. thingies to hang film to dry.
. black bottles to hold chemicals.
. beaker for measuring chemicals.
. film changing bag.
. plenty expired film to practice reeling with.
. safelight.
. wetting agent (photo flo?)
. film hardener (a liquid chemical additive for fixer.)
. fixer remover (a liquid chemical.)
. whatever that is to test fixer life (a liquid chemical.)

In addition, I'd also be interested in:

. contact printing frame.
. bulk film loader for 35mm.
. unused film cassettes (must be unused.)

Now that you see I'm a total novice, feel free to suggest other
things.

Thanks a lot.
Tonghang.
