Successfully developed my first two rolls of film today.
I've spent probably the last two or three weeks obsessively scavenging craigslist and nextdoor for cheap or free shyt, and it's paid off.
I went shooting last Saturday, and had a huge mishap. Finished up a roll, and when I tried to load up the second roll, it jammed up. Wound it up, put it in my bag, and tried a third roll. Also jammed up.
So I drove like an hour and a half just to get less than 10 shots.
The rolls that jammed were both bulk loaded by me, and I'm guessing I just cut the leader too short and edges too sharp. Got home and cut them again, and both seem to work like a charm; got one roll in my camera, and the other roll was developed tonight.
Excited to see how they turn out. It's my first time developing film, it's expired film from the 90s, PLUS I never shot B&W before, so i take it I'll be able to learn a little bit from looking at my pictures.
