Hi Richard,the problem isn't the volume, it's my available spare time between running a (two, actually) business, having a family, trying to find time for friends, etc.
I can go to the lab and let them do it, but it sucks when they screw it up and I lose images I can never take again. So I could do it myself, but would need something that is at least semi-automatable. Standing around turning a tank upside down every minute for 10 minutes (plus loading, fixing, rinsing, drying) isn't something I really have time for.
My shooting tends to go in waves, it's been about 6 months since last I had time, and then I shot about 10 rolls in a few short days.
Maybe one day when (if) I retire I'll have the time needed to develop manually. By that time I don't know if film will be around at all....

If not large you can do well with small tanks. I still prefer the stainless steel variety. This stuff is available used now for a pittance.-- Richard Knoppow Los Angeles, CA, USA dickburk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx --- Rollei List - Post to rollei_list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx- Subscribe at rollei_list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' in the subject field OR by logging into www.freelists.org- Unsubscribe at rollei_list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the subject field OR by logging into www.freelists.org- Online, searchable archives are available at //www.freelists.org/archives/rollei_list
