I have my developing tanks and chemicals but they are still in the box which we used to move to this house 2 years ago. I have to start doing my own developing again, it is not cheap to have it done by the lab in Valencia. I just bought a changing bag so it is not necessary for me to have a dark room to load the film in the tank, and now that we have completed the latest remodelling, turning the garage into a guest room with its own bathroom etc., I have a place to dry the film too. So I expect to break out the bottles and tanks next time I need to develop a film.
