Question: What do I need to develop slide film?
Hi, I shoot 35mm slide film and wanna buy the tools needed to develop in a closet in my basement, but don't know what i need, don't know what any of it is, etc. I might in the future want to develop 35mm B&W and medium format slides + B&W.
What I'd like to know is what I need.
If you could give links and/or tell what the stuff is or does, that would be great. thanks.Answer: Many people who develop E6 at home use a Jobo or similar semi-automatic processor, but this isn't strictly necessary. I'm going to cover what you need for a more traditional route, although using an automated processor is very similar.
The first thing you'll need is a set of developing tanks and reals, which will work for developing all types of film. These come in two different types-stainless steel and plastic. Most beginners find plastic reels much easier to load, although for developing slide film, you're really better off with stainless steel as it makes temperature control easier.
You can find instructions for loading either reel type on the internet-I won't go into it here. Whatever you get, be sure to practice until you have it down with scrap film.
You'll also need chemicals, which are standardized and unique to the E6 process. Kodak makes a "kit" which contains all you need for a certain number of rolls(indicated on the kit).
The next thing you'll need is a big tank of water which you can get hot-up to around 100 degrees farenheit. A bathtub works well for this. Precise temperature control is critical for good results with the E6 process, and a lot of water is the best way to keep a consistent temperature. You'll need to keep all of your chemical bottles in this before use, and keep the developing tank in it during the development process.
Finally, you'll need some place that can be made completely dark. An interior closet with some extra insulation will work, but the easiest thing is an inexpensive "changing bag" available from most any photo retailer.
When developing, read the instructions in the Kodak kit, and follow them to the letter.
Be prepared to mess up a few rolls-don't start with a roll that's important to you.

Question: Fake IR images with slide film?When you slide film designed as a filter to your IR's ... The result is a "lookalike" IR or Infrared is really a picture?
Answer: No, it's something that looks as if they were recorded on Infrared Film, but it is not a true IR picture. It is possible that an IR "double" with an imaging program - but that's not a true IR shot. That is my opinion after anyway!
