The missis and I spent yesterday afternoon developing a roll of TMax in the kitchen sink. It was the first time she had ever done a home dev and my first in almost 30 years. I'd forgotten just how much fun it is seeing the images come out of the tank. Needless to say, she is now also hooked :-)

I love Photoshop and Lightroom, but you can't beat the real thing.

Great. Also good to see you also have a dedicated drying room..

Of course. It also features a steam-powered dust removal system, with variable height, fold-away drying line (pictured), and 350 litre drip-tray (below shot).
 
J, good work, I guess you won't be leaving it another 30 years!

Too right! I'm halfway through a roll of HP5 and desperately looking round for things to shoot. Must finish the film. Must finish the film...even though I don't have a scanner or enlarger yet, so all I have are negatives :)

Nice! I'm 5/6ths of the way through a roll of HP5+, and then I just need to buy the chemicals and a darkbag to go with the tank/thermometer I already have, and I'll be joining you. Can't wait.

This waiting is one of the reasons I gave up 135 completely in favour of medium format. It can take me ages to shoot 36 exposures; 12 is far more manageable.
 
Bulk loader and re-loadable cassette, with those you can just have a few frames if you want.
