You can develop your own film just about anywhere. I routinely carry a Stainless tank and 2 reels with me when ever I travel. I figure I can develop film on the fly and not have to worry about the x-ray machines... Buy a Patterson (or some other type ) of Stainless tank and 2 35mm 36exp. reels. you'll need chemistry and something to put it in. ( old clean shampoo bottles are great if they are opaque.) Contact sheets can be done in 3 8x10 trays and AZO paper (yes its still made) AZO is cool because its very slow and can be exposed by a bare light bulb... you don't need a timer just flick the switch. Hopefully you will enjoy this and the next thing youll be doing is looking for a small enlarger!!
