In the dim and distant past, I used to use a washing up bowl with water in as a water bath, tank, rinse water and chemicals within as well, kept at the correct temperature with a fish tank thermostatically controlled heater (tap water always from cold tap, filtering out Ice particles as necessary). Before using this 'live', I left it for 8 hours (until ordered to wash up and stop mucking around), checking the temperature every half hour or so (depending on when cups of tea were ordered) - it never varied more than 0.5 degrees Celsius either way (checked with a lab mercury thermometer). Fish tank heaters and associated cabling are isolated from mains power, and I also sealed a small plastic bag around it and wore rubber gloves, both to provide further insulation and prevent chemicals affecting my hands. I did toy with the idea of creating my own processing station, a long wooden box, lined with fish pond rubber sheeting, in which chemicals etc could be kept in order of use, but this was vetoed on the grounds it would look ugly. I did offer to paint it pink, but the answer was still no. I was interested to see the notion that a cooler could be powered from the cigarette lighter socket in a vehicle, and wondered how many people actually processed film on the move ? I suppose hanging it from the passenger window to dry might be possible .. .. ..

Don't do street photography myself, unless it is something that really interests me, but I'm curious to know whether those who use CAF also use BBF, or just the shutter button, please ?
