So you just spaghetti process with buckets or
whatever? I am looking for the hand processed look,
and am not out to get flawless results with a
processing tank. If I wanted that, I'd just send my
film to a lab. I have used the lomo tank for super8
before, and I've bucket processed 16mm print stock. I
guess it would be best just to buy some buckets along
with my own chemicals and process away.
