Thanks everyone. As always great feedback. It's more of a science experiment than true cost savings. Like, rather than dumping chemistry... What would I need to get 3 or 4 more sheets developed if I...
A slightly different slant on this question. Let's assume my kit (Unicolor) is good for minimum 12 rolls before I would need to start monitoring/increasing dev times to account for exhaustion. If I...
Thanks. Today was a disaster. Just too wet to take the camera out. Might look into Thurs/Fri or come back in July ;)
For the record, I made it a ways towards Snoqualmie Pass and turned around....
Anyone have some last ditch recommendations on some good locations I can visit for some large/medium format this weekend?
I'm looking for some landscape scenes, dense forest, maybe mountain...
Put together a little video of how I do my color film development for anyone interested.

Still learning this film... In hindsight, I might have exposed a stop more to minimize some of the red/blue...
sheel - Great pics! What film/format?
Drew - Agree, or even start with bath water higher than your desired processing temp - assuming the chemistry will bring the bath temp down as the chems...
Jackpot! Finally got around to mixing chemistry and developing a couple test rolls of film. Here's some notes from my first (ever) color development:
First, anyone reading this that is scared of...
Appreciate all the comments, great stuff. I built a 1/2 barrel automated brewing system from scratch that will maintain 20 gallons at about +/- 0.5° for hours. All automated from a tablet. If it...
I thought this too but in the comments it says 0.5F adjustment and 0.1F readout. I'm sure the 0.01F accuracy is the element, not the ability to maintain water accuracy. I should have been in...
Totally agree on value/cost. I just ordered one. Will test in my small cooler and report back. Even if it doesn't hold temp, it should make heating the bath easier while doing other things.
Anyone by chance see/use something like this for a tempering bath? Thinking this will solve my DIY project. Set increments of 0.5F and accuracy of +/- 0.1F seems too good to be true.
Anova...
Woke up at 5:30 this morning to go shoot some Provia 100F at sunrise. The forecast was partly cloudy. To my surprise, they were way off and there was some crazy intense fog. So, I drove around...
Ha... I didn't specify, interested in a blackout changing tent.
It's only the second time I used it...
I would like something that I can use in sunlight especially on long backpacking trips.
Are there any good recommendations for a lightweight tent?
I am getting light leaks from the elastic arm holes in my changing bag. They are only about 4" long, unlike many tents I've seen with 12"+ arms.
The double zipper makes sense but when I put my...
I just bought 8 "new" Toyo holders and found that thread too. Thought for sure that was the cause. However, I shot again on the problem holders and they were fine. So I think the problem slides were...
Not experienced with C-41 chem yet, but wanted to share I had the same experience (2 sheets bad, 2 sheets good) in B&W batch recently. The bad sheets looked just like yours.
Found out a small...
Great call out Pere. I realize I mis-wrote this, it was actually 8s calculated at a wider aperture and as I stopped down bracketing it was 15s (or 25s with reciprocity)
The greater point is spot...
Thanks barnacle and Pere. I have been lurking on the forum for some time and learned a lot so appreciate everyone's contribution to making it.
Just finished my first box of LF film and finally have most of the quirks worked out.
Took this last night at one of my favorite locations. Always wanted to shoot it at night with film, but it...
Might have an explanation on my "under-exposed" shots. I noticed lots of my shots seemed under by a stop too... I am pretty confident in my metering, so caused me to look into my processing.
...
I have good results from this lens using the same shutter speeds, so I'm going to make a mental note but temporarily remove that as a problem unless I continue to see inconsistencies. I think the...
Ok cool, agree leaning towards equipment...but also can't figure out why these both appear a stop or two underexposed. That's an easier problem to fix.
Given the location of the leak, would you...
My last development yielded some unexplained and inconsistent negatives... looking for some troubleshooting ideas. I'm leaning towards a problem in the equipment or developing, but I can't put my...
If anyone in MN is interested in a LF meetup, let me know. I'm in Savage but willing to drive for some exposures!

Halford - Thanks for the Delta 1 bags link. Never found that in my searches through B&H.
I know this problem will go away over time, so I'll try to solve it as soon as I can. ;)
Eventually I'll build up a collection of 4x5 boxes, but in the meantime...here's what I'm thinking. Thoughts?
Store film individually in one of these: ...
Excited to get my new 4x5 out and shoot this weekend. I am curious if anyone has a recommendation for storing exposed film until I can get back to my darkroom.
I'm going to do some backpacking...
