A good start is FPP 76 BW Developer and FPP Fixer.Ībout Michael Raso – Michael founded the Film Photography Project in 2009 as resource for both new and experienced film shooters. Once you invest in the gear needed to develop film at home, you can use that same gear to develop your BW negatives at home. What about developing Black & White film? (The Epson v800 is a recommended film scanner). Processing your own Color is super easy! If you already own a negative scanner then you’re now your own mini-lab! See our video below on developing color using our C-41 Color Negative Kit. Enslave your digital SLR to scan all of your film using the Negative Supply system! Now that you’re shooting film, your greatest fear – that your digital SLR would become a “door stop” or fancy “paper weight” doesn’t have to be. How about the Negative Supply scan tool that allows you to use your digital SLR. A New Scanning Idea! There are also new options for 2020.You might be thinking, “Naaa, I only shoot 35mm!” But think of that day when you move up to medium format film or find amazing 4×5 glass plate negative at a garage sale! For the money, it’s an amazing value (allow you to scan not only 35mm but also 120, 620, 4×5 and 8×10). A traditional flat bed scanner (like the Epson v800) is an excellent investment. Film Scanner – You will need a scanner to convert your film negatives into a file for sharing or printing.All of these items are available in the Darkroom Supply area of the FPP On-Line Store.

Out tank holds two 35mm rolls or one 120 (or 620) roll of film. The only step that takes place in the dark is loading your film from the canister to your reel and tank. Film tank and reels – These are the reels that hold your film in the light tight tank.Can opener (to remove the film from the 35mm canister) – does not apply to 120 or 620 film.A w ork space with running, hot water (away from children and pets).(SHORT CUT- Can I purchase EVERYTHING I need as one kit? Yes, you can! If you’re brand new to processing then you can purchase our color home development starter kit! ) Other than the actual development kit, you will need the following gear after you have shot your roll of film and ready to develop: Our Color Kits include all the chemistry you will need in one box. Are the color development kits just chemicals or do I need other items? Are there instructions in the kit?”Īll of the color kits come with mixing instructions. With the addition of the C-41 Color Negative Kit (and the E6 Color Slide Kit) to our FPP On-Line Store, many of you have asked – “I’m new to home development. As Rob Schneider famously screamed… “YOU CAN DO IT!” My 35mm and 120 film photography was now (practically) instant photography! Shoot, head home and one hour later – voilà – my shots are shared on Instagram. She said, “You can…and it’s easier than BW film.” GAME CHANGER! From that point I took total control of my photography by developing and scanning my work. One day some years ago I confessed to fellow podcaster Leslie Lazenby that it would be amazing to develop my own color at home. I had thought that about color home development.
