Yeah.
One of my first tasks as a student worker in the photo department I later
ran was making glass lantern slides for a
chemistry professor who didn't like 35mm.

I also used to have to process 20 rolls of Kodak Direct Positive film in
one batch - 10 SS reels with two rolls back
to back on each, in tall glass cylinders that held a gallon of solution.
All in the dark, of course, for the 40 minutes it took.

And I learned to develop my regular B&W film by inspection.
