Very nice! I hope you can try an even cheaper method using instant coffee (cafenol). I’m all for saving money when you can!

[@viewfindings]

Funny enough, I recently attended a workshop where we made cafenol and developed a roll of film with it! You've reminded me that I've been wanting to try to make my own at home. Thank you!

[@GarrettWare]

Great video! I have an order of DF96 delivering today and will be developing my first in home rolls! Much love from Tennessee🙏🏼

[@viewfindings]

Hiiii thank you! I find it to be so rewarding- I hope that you have a great first experience!

[@GarrettWare]

@@viewfindings it was perfect! I developed a couple of rolls of 6x6 and 35mm. Thanks for the encouragement👊🏼

[@Dionne_Sheree]

You definitely made it less intimidating as you stated! Thank you for sharing! This is awesome!

[@viewfindings]

It’s so worth a try!

[@PikulBoy]

Great video! Informative and well-made. You've inspired me to set my sights on home development in the near future! :)

[@viewfindings]

Thank you. I'm happy to hear that! I hope you have a fun time if you decide to try (:

Clothes Hanger club! I have a plastic one that I zip tied spring clamps to - works great!

[@viewfindings]

[@StepsAndStoness]

Glad to have you back🙏

[@viewfindings]

I appreciate you!

[@plugthestreets_za]

are you South African?? you have a cool accent. I am an experimental film maker from South Africa i really enjoy watching your channel you teaching us so much

[@viewfindings]

Hi, I’m not from South Africa, but hope to visit someday! I’m happy to hear folks are learning from my learnings. That’s what it’s all about! Thank you for being here!

[@viewfindings]

Have you ever developed film at home?

[@Awayne429]

I had this developer for the past couple months but still procrastinating. Now I have like over 10 rolls to process lol thanks for the inspiration, seems simple enough.

[@viewfindings]

Mine sat in a box for weeks before I touched it haha but it is so simple! Hope you get to develop soon!

[@atl_mx5]

just ordered some, can you update with results after 10+ rolls of film? kinda hesitant developing that many rolls. 10 rolls would be about.. 150 more seconds for normal temp i believe?

[@pocketsquareformat]

Thank you for sharing your experience and tips. I would like to know if you think it’s best to use distilled or filtered water? I tried developing at home some years ago with not so good results. After revisited the process, I believe I unknowingly used ‘hard water’ from the faucet. Much appreciated!

[@viewfindings]

Thank you for watching! I am no expert, but the instructions did mention to use distilled water when mixing the powder version of this df96. I also used to use distilled water when mixing my C41 chemicals. I've always used running tap water to rinse, but I've seen other people do different things when researching. Hope this is helpful!

[@yeknomlana]

tre cool, didn't know there was one chem solution, so simple, so tempting, question, once done with chemicals where do you take to dispose of them?

[@viewfindings]

Soooo tempting! That's a good question though and one I don't currently have the answer to. Since moving to SoCal I am unfamiliar with the waste protocols. The research I've done so far says you can flush them, but it's not 100% clear so I'd like to find a waste site that will take them as I'd like to bring used chemicals in batches every so often. Will update once I have more info! Thank you for watching

[@matereo]

Nice! What scanner do you use? Do you do darkroom copies as well?

[@viewfindings]

Epson v600 and soon!
