Nothing bought, but two exciting developments One is my first complete film development - I made a mess in the kitchen (because I had neglected to prepare well enough and allowed myself to get stressed out), but *not* a mess of the whole process: Both 120 films look okay and are now drying in the shower. The other one is the return of my Super Ikonta 531/16 from CLA - works like a charm now.
The key insight concerning film shooting/handling: I still have loads of film to scan (and some to develop, too). That's a problem I need to address through some kind of schedule (scanning twice or three times a week until it's done, same goes for developing). But once I've cleared up the backlog I can develop *and* scan two 120 films in two easy days (only because of dry time, btw. - we're talking about three hours on the whole). This way, I can keep up with things as long as I shoot b&w - without issue. Even if I shoot a lot (i.e. 120 two films a week). For 135 film, it's similar, though scanning takes a lot more time due to the number of images, so even though I have tank space for four 135 films at a time, I'll not do that, instead I'll stick to two - at the most. This really looks promising - especially if I reserve colour shooting for photo travel, as planned
