    Re: Poll: How do you process large format black and white film?

    Develop at home, print at home. There's no sense in digitising either my negatives or prints because the scanner I have does a poor job and, aside from wishing I could produce a decent copy of my prints for web sharing (more so for critique and queries than exhibition purposes), I only scan everything for the sake of note taking/indexing. I would never produce a hard copy from those scans because 1) they'd be garbage and, 2) my favourite part of using film is winding up in the darkroom.

    I think that's #3

    I'd appreciate if the honorable misters Can and Noel could click on the appropriate selections now in the poll list. Thank you in advance.
    Done!

    Just a note, I don't know how many here use Tapatalk, but polls don't show up as such within that app. New discovery for me!
    At any rate, I've opened the thread in Web View et voilà, there's the poll.
    I've added my answer in properly now.

    I'm reading this forum on my mobile phone - my laptop has had the gong. Tapatalk is merely a smartphone application for accessing forums in a fairly simplistic layout. Using it does mean that some features are missing; noticeably galleries on photo forums and, as we're both now discovering, polls.
    Now I'm wondering how many other polls I've filled up with my long winded drivel over the years instead of simply ticking a box!

    Wow. I'm the only one out of 24 people who's processing in a lab (with scanning at home). The rest of you have a darkroom. I'm impressed. My wife's impressed!

    You don’t need a darkroom at all to develop film, b&w or color. You just need a changing tent and one of the many daylight development methods… (stearman, Peterson, Jobo tubes….) ie. anything but trays!

    A bathroom with a piece of cardboard over the window works for me.
