What do I need to develop photos?

You might want to get some catologs-- one that comes to mind is Porters
Camera Store-- many offer begining darkroom kits. I probably wouldn't buy
the kit (or maybe yes), but they usually list what comes in the kit.


Freestyle. Though the last catalog I got from them (about a year ago)
was so full of no longer made cameras, papers and chemicals that I almost
cried.

Konica/Minolta, discontinued Nikons, Kodak Paper, Rodinal, and so on.

If you are out of the U.S. they may not be worth it, they use Fed Ex
to ship. Here it costs $50 to ship a small package from the U.S., the
customs fees and taxes are calculated on the total including postage
and FedEx always charges them. The post office lets cheap packages
containing anything except books through for free. (Books have to
be less than $35).

There are a couple of PDFs on Ilford's B/W website that could be
helpful at the beginning:
- film development: http://www.ilfordphoto.com/Webfiles/200629163442455.pdf
- paper development: http://www.ilfordphoto.com/Webfiles/...1111431518.pdf
There are several other documents on their website:
http://www.ilfordphoto.com/applications/page.asp?n=16
Under "Applications".

Kodak's website (http://www.kodak.com) is also a mine of informations
but may be somewhat technical at the beginning.

For prices, you can check B&H or Adorama:

- http://www.adorama.com/catalog.tpl?o...%26%20Darkroom
There are of course plenty of other suppliers ...

Including an "SFX Challenge" at http://www.ilfordphoto.com/sfx/

Now, I thought this stuff had been discontinued. If it's back on the
market, three cheers, Come on someone, make my day!

be the last after all?)

I've heard they want to re-introduce it, not sure it's already
available.

If you are really, really into developing film, you can go to the library or
perhaps on line and find formulas for making the chemicals from scratch.
You might have to buy five pounds of some chemicals but it can be done.
Don't ask me how though. Ric in Wisconsin.
