Can others edit my Photos
Photos NOT OK to edit
For a few days I've been working in a DIY solution in slitting 35mm film into widths I can use in my Minox EC. That's going well but last night I recalled an experiment I performed a year ago where I custom slit a test section of film and loaded to my Minox and developed it. With supplies in hand, I fired up my enlarger last night just to "see" as I say.
Somewhat crusty around the outskirts, but dang I had an official photo from that thing! As you can see free-hand scissor cutting in the darkroom is not my forte, but I got an answer! My full array of film cameras is now ready!

This thread reminds me of my try of 35mm in a 126 cam...... Hmmmmm.....126
Although there are sources (Blue Moon in Oregon) to purchase film for my Minox, I want to perfect my DIY method to allow me to use many types of film.

For someone who can't remember how to develop film. Did you develop the film first then cut it or did you in pitch black cut the film and set it into your camera?

I took the raw film and cut that to width while in the dark by using a slitting tool. I found a source for a formal slitting tool that I expect soon. With that in hand the job will become far easier.
