While the options above are the most common and popular, there are other kits available if you want to develop film at home.

Here’s what we dislike about the Ilford / Paterson film developing kit: Scan your film yourself with a dedicated film scanner. For scanning 35mm, the Epson Perfection V300 is a good affordable option. The Epson V600 or V550, or something similar may be one of the better choicse if you’re scanning medium format film. I would recommend this step for photographers versed in digital photography or those looking for complete creative control over the finished scan, as well as those who still want to use digital editing software on their images.

A built-in air vent at base of the darkroom allows for an optional fan / blower to be used and once sealed the incoming air will also expand the inner dimensions. A smaller vent is also included closer to the top of the darkroom to attach air extraction tubes (not included).

This device, similar to a sous vide machine, heats, stirs, and circulates chemicals to maintain a consistent temperature. Inside the tank, the reel is autonomously agitated by an electric motor. All of the chemicals as well as the tank are heated via heating plates on the main station, while a magnet stirs the liquids, providing exact temperature measurements transferred via spring pins.

Developing tank. Paterson Tanks are frequently recommended. Pay attention to the size/how many rolls of film you can develop at once. A developing tank and reels.
