To just develop (which is a very worthwhile part to do oneself) all
you would really need as equipment is the daylight developing tank.
All containers, timing, drying and such are easily improvised. A 2-reel
tank and enough chems to get started could take as little as US$50.
A Paterson two reel tank or similar and some developer, stop, fixer
and hypoclearing agent.
Dig out that Seattle Film Works you just couldn't
bear to throw away and practice loading the reels! ;^)
