I've found a few on ebay for little to nothing.

Is there a guide or something that I can read to get the basics?

I think it would be cool to develope my own b&w photos!

Especially if it only takes a bathroom...

Don't forget the beer.


Really All I'm interested in is just the developing stuff... bag chemicals etc.
But there is so much to choose from I don't know what to order. I'm talking brand names and such.

Don't want to buy a bunch of stuff have trouble and have someone tell me " You should've gotten ****** brand.

Ilford Retinol S
Ilford Rapid Stop
Patterson developing tank

plus bathroom

I really suggest just trying out several different brands as far as paper, and chemicals go, just to see what kind of stuff you like. A lot of it is personal taste as much as anything else.

IMO you should stick up with just one brand, otherwise it's very hard to get good results with different brands (but that's just me )
