I'm finally taking the plunge again and am getting ready to develop my own film in my wee, but light-tight bathroom. I've got some Rodinal, some Kodak stop-bath, some Illford Rapid Fixer and some Photo-Flo. I've got a stainless developing tank and two reels. What I don't have is, well, anything else.
I used to have a dedicated darkroom or used the one at art school, so I haven't managed the materials I'll need for film processing in over twenty years and I'm at a loss at what I really need and what is just excess.
So, expecting to develop film in Rodinal, at normal and stand development dilutions, what sort of equipment do I need? Graduated cylinders- which ones? How big? Working solution tanks- again, how many, how big? Film hanging clips, thermometer and what else?
Help! My brain is addled and my shopping cart at Freestyle alternates between overflowing and empty!
