I have a better suggestion - get the black bag, a tank and a few extras and develop in your bathroom or kitchen. It is very

unlikely your results will be worse than from a lab.

Hi Pierre, I have been very happy with results from Camtec Photo, who outsource to someone in the area. It's been

a while though... I process my own most of the time. It's cheap, fun and easy. All you need is a changing bag,

spools and a tank. Then, pick your poison - I use XTOL 1:3.

 

Here's a link to some

I developed Tri-X back in school, it seems pretty easy, then to order prints at Wally World. Now back "into" b+w, are Ilford and other Kodak films as easy?

It's generally best to stick to one film / developer combination if you're looking for consistent results, but you can use <a href="http://www.digitaltruth.com/devchart.html">this chart</a> to get some good film / developer / timing tips and then play with whatever film you've got in your bag.

According to Kodak, the only chemical result from black and white development that is potentially toxic is the used fixer. I reuse the fixer and then store it up. So far I've been able to find someone in the photo industry to take the used fixer in small amounts to properly dispose of it. Supposedly what is toxic is the silver ironically. It is possible to buy or build a silver recovery system by taking a plastic bin and filling it with steel wool and pouring the fixer through the steel wool and letting it soak (supposedly). Then you just have to dispose of the steel wool or recover that steel wool for the silver.

 

Other than that, Kodak says all the chemicals can be poured down the drain without causing damage to the pipes or the water system.
