Four small jars, two filled with powder for ECN-2 color film developer, and two filled with powder for a potassium ferrocyanide bleach.

Mixing up my own ECN-2 development chemicals, in which I plan on developing both cine film, and cross-processing C-41 film.

The ferrocyanide crystals are especially pretty. Felt like I was doing sand art.

Two old daylight 35mm bulk film loaders. One is a Watson model, the other is a Lloyd model. They're dirty and dusty.

Scored a couple of daylight loaders at an estate sale today, and they still have film in them! One is clearly B&W, but the other is some kind of color film I'm not familiar with. I'll develop it in ECN-2 chemicals later today to see what the rebate says.

Ever shot with Fuji Acros II 100? I just got a bunch of it and I'm excited to try it out.

Mixing chemicals to develop film - both B&W and (very soon) color.

This was kind of fun. I found this old roll of film (probably circa 2018) in my basement last week. The canister it was in was translucent. You can see the difference in the long-exposed leader to what I pulled out to load the camera.
