You'll need - tank - reels (should come with the tank, I like Jobo) - changing bag (If you don't have a *really* dark place to load) - bottles (I use gatorade bottles) - a tub to use as a tempering bath - a thermometer - scissors - a measuring cup or 2 - digital watch or clock with second hand - somewhere and something to hang the film (I use plastic laundry clips in the bathroom) - negative sleeves - chemicals A film extractor is helpful. So is this link to the massive dev chart: http://www.digitaltruth.com/ A good book for this sort of thing is the Film Developing Cookbook by Anchell and Troop. tv
