F*D
Now in color.

After getting over the initial fear and logistics, I started souping my own color film. I was pleasantly surprised how easy  and consistent the results are. You can use the same time and chemistry for all C-41 film so that means less dicking around with different developer/times/technique.

The only catch is that the temperature has to be spot on and the smell of blix takes some getting used to (make sure you are well vented). The alternative was 2.19 per 35mm roll at my CVS done by some poor underpaid sod and 8(!!) per 120 roll at pro lab in Manhattan. A liter C-41 kit is like 35 dollars and you can develop lots more film than the kit lets on. 

This is what 60 rolls of Kodak 800 looks like. Paying for this much film to be developed would really hurt my wallet. 

I bet you suckas cant wait to see my results!
