Response to Beginner film developer

Hi: You don't need to build a dark-room, realy. Just use a dark bathroom at midnight with all your bed-sheets over the door. Eventualy, you will give up and use XP-2 or CN-400 which are Colour B&W film, or you will have an inexplicable urge to build one. If you don't get the urge, nothing lost. Your first 5 rolls will be really bad -- don't worry about it -- so just get a $5.00 cheep 35mm camera, a roll of FP4 or HP5 and it's gonna be lousy so don't worry. If after roll #6 you get the urge, then start consulting books on the subject. Any more specific questions for the cheep way out (not the quality way, but the cheep way) just ask off line -- quality way you got to ask the rest of the forum. Dean
