Originally posted by rparmar Oh yes, that's what I would be doing. I've got the changing bag, scanner etc. The issue is that I live in Ireland with one bathroom in the house shared between myself and two women. And two cats. So taking over that one room for chemicals etc. isn't really going to happen! (I have a shed but no water flow there.)
The gear/chemicals doesn't take up much space at all (3-4 bottles and a tank with some lids and stuff), and the only flowing water you need is for the final rinse (at least for B&W), which is 20 minutes or so. You can as well use the "Ilford method" which consumes less water and takes less time. I'm doing the developing in my
very small kitchen. The floor area is 2.30x1.0 meters and the free bench area is 0.6x0.6 meters, except for the sink. This even works for C-41 and E-6 with water bath and everything.
Edit: Heck, I had to take a pic... Welcome to my kitchen:
Now, if I can do sort of everything at this minimal area, you could do it too. If you want to, that is. The grey box on the floor is for the water bath and the bottles are the E-6 chems that I usually keep elsewhere.
Edit: By the way, the image was shot with Nikon D700 and an old Nikkor 24/2.8 AI @ f/5.6. The latitude in the shadows is just insane with the D700. The floor was lifted like ~3 stops at ISO 800 and there's hardly any noise at all.
The lens is great (and very small) as well, but I don't like the dull colors. They have to be tweaked quite a bit in post processing.
