    @stereograph I know... I'm getting a scanner pretty soon but the color developing process is not the easiest thing to do at home... I gave one film to the lab, usually it's ready after 1 or 2 days. This time, I've waited 2 weeks, the film was not ready and now everything's closed again and my poor film is being held hostage until... no one knows! It's frustrating! Plus 3 more films wait in my fridge!!

    Ah! nonsense! :-))) i started to dev my C41 in june last year, after a guided testrun with a friend
    and it is easy like boiling water and the results are great.
    its fun you'll love it and you'll feel like a queen afterwards that you did it!

    "I've waited 2 weeks, the film was not ready ..." Thats reason enough or? ;-)

    @stereograph I'm soooo tempted!!! Where did you get the equipment and chemicals, some on line shop or did you get it from an actual store?

    @fisheyemary I'm lucky, i've fotoimpex around, so i drop by and get all i need there.
    i bought a set of Cinestill C41 before the lockdown. with the last batch i did 38 rolls.
    you can order the stuff online from them. the rest was there paterson tank and changing bag is all you need, and three empty bottles. :-)

    @stereograph Yeah I know this store, they also sell on line... I will seriously consider it cause it's so frustrating to shoot and not be able to develop!!

    @fisheyemary yes i know!
    after i developed my first b/w in 2019 after decades of photography,
    i knew wwhat i missed! but better late then never!
    Going full circle is an amazing experience.
    so c41 was only a question of time! :-)

    @stereograph Thank you so much for encouraging me!! Although I found another lab yesterday (which is open) I will seriously consider home development!
