Hello everyone I was wondering if anyone here develops there own film. And if so is it cheaper/easier to do so? Also if so could anyone tell me the basic supplies/Chemicals I would need, and maybe redirect me to a website were they would be available. I am shooting ektachrome 64t btw. Thank you all very much.

Boy, it's been a few years! E6 was if I remember, 8 steps. The only way is was cheaper as a DIY was if
you shot enough film so that you used all the chemicals before they went bad, two week if memory serves.
The one bad part of E6 was that the color developer used arsenic as one of it components. The arsenic
came in a small bottle as a powder and had to be reconstituted with water before being added with the
rest of the color developer chemicals. Arsenic is not something you wont around the house if you have
kids! Last I heard Kodak no longer sell or uses E6.
