This is what happens when you’re too cheap to pay $12-20 a roll for someone else to develop for you
@skinnylatte I know nothing about photography but this feels dangerous somehow
@skinnylatte@hachyderm.io I was wondering about a sous vide! did you get it specifically for processing film or do you use it for food too
@pagrus I got the Cinestill one but regret it. Any normal cooking one will work
@skinnylatte@hachyderm.io I was trying to figure out what their ranges were, 68F seems really low to maintain temp. I get pretty good results with manual regulation but having a larger volume of water definitely helps
@skinnylatte @pagrus That's good to know, thanks!
There are no more studios that develop E6 film anywhere close, the closest one is ~150 km away, I'll have to start developing colour soon.
@skinnylatte @pagrus Thanks! Bellini is almost always in stock, among the cheapest, and available for C41, E6 and ECN2, exactly what I need. 
@skinnylatte @pagrus It'll take me some time, I need to shoot more colour film. 
Thanks for reminding me about bottles, I have a few, full of Xtol I've mixed before the pandemic, I wonder if it's still good! 
@skinnylatte What color chems do you use? That was always the stumbling block for me and I never actually tried it.
@ezwal I use Bellini C-41 kit. It’s the best one I’ve tried. Tetenal is also very good. Cinestill is meh. Arista is fine.
@skinnylatte Thanks! Maybe some day I will build up the nerve to do this haha.
@skinnylatte almost like you need to install another toilet bowl and use the flush mechanism for higher throughput
@skinnylatte this is the way
@skinnylatte
If you're *really* cheap, you can accomplish perfectly acceptable temperature control by putting all the containers in a bath with one of those little heater units they sell for keeping aquariums at a constant temperature. You have to monitor this with a better thermometer, but you need one of those anyway.
@skinnylatte Long, long ago, I used to use a bathroom as the darkroom. A couple of slats over the bath made a makeshift desk for the magnifier to stand on.
