Re: Processing color slide film at home
I was the one that posted the question a few months ago. The list thoroughly discouraged me (in a very positive way) from attempting it. I leave it to the labs in the area that do a great job. On a related note, over the last few months I've developed a few rolls of Tri-X and I'm really enjoying it. There seems to be something to this balck and white stuff after all Christian On Tuesday 19 February 2002 22:51, you wrote: I remember having seen some discussion about this, but don't remember if it was on this forum.

My questions are: How many rolls do you have to process before it becomes economical, not counting one's own labour? Also, does it require some setup such as darkroom? Is there a can-like container of solution that you can buy, in which you would just drop the film (the kit comes with a film canister opener), close cover, shake for 2 minutes, and it's done?

My questions are: How many rolls do you have to process before it becomes economical, not counting one's own labour? 4-5 rolls depending on what you pay for processing and what you pay for the kit. The solutions have a limited shelf life after preparing so you have to use them quick (?3 months? I think) to get maximum benefit. Also, does it require some setup such as darkroom? Just like b/w,. you need a dark place to load the film can. I use a changing bag. After that it is all in daylight.

Re: Processing color slide film at home
I did this for a while when the Unichrome chemistry first came out (early 1970s). The amount of time it took to cut up the film and put it in the mount convinced me that it just wasn't worth it.
