Kulapat,
I do all my development myself.  I started with colour transparencies in the
kitchen.  I bought a black bag for loading and Thetenal chemistries (E6-3
baths approx. $30.00/1l Kit for 4 to 8 films process).  When I got to black
& white, I started with Kodak products just because they are more easy to
find - TMAX100 using TMAX Film Dev, Stop Bath Indicator and Kodafix.   If
you are doing B&W the initial cost is approximately $150.00 for everything
you need.  If transparencies are of any interest to you, consider buying a
used JOBO tempered bath unit or Nova (cost approx. $300.00).
