| RC paper expired a few years off ebay. Roll paper is fine if can find it.
Dektol. Film developer will work fine, too. Xtol did.
Reuse Dektol
Reuse Fix for even longer
No dire need for tongs but will keep fingers from contaminating paper with fix etc
Spray paint a 40Watt bulb dark red ..alternate red with some black
Make 20 for the cost of a cheap purpose built safelight. Won't fog paper. I have proper safelights/filters up the .. and still use spray painted bulbs to light my way in the basement and use commercial red bulbs for actual safelight. Painted bulbs stink a bit when get hot. Rubylith film. Red tape over a flashlight works/can work
Some trays. Use anything of correct size for a tray.
stop bath=water. It just doesn't matter much.
Rinse in the sink or bathtub. It doesn't matter. I fix and rinse RC for 20 seconds? and blow dry. Not saying that's what you want to do but it works "fine"
Find a MF enlarger for $25-$50. Dektol. Fixer. Whatever trays. Red bulb/paint/$5 safelight. Paper. As much paper as you can get and use it. 5x7/8x10 speed easel.
If not less than $100 for everything you need -and then some- you were not patient or creative enough
4x5 contacts are perfectly nice. Can be just as creative with a small contact as an enlargement |
