Yep, I'm a photography junkie. I love film and digital. Right now I have about 94 rolls of film in my fridge, both fresh and expired (to play/experiment with). And then I just got this off of eB*y so I can bulk load and save money too.

I guess it would help if I didn't have so many cameras, plus I just gave a Kodak point-n-shoot to my son so he can take film photos too.

I guess it's time to start learning how to develop film, but I have a septic tank so I'm worried I can't just dump the chemicals down the drain. Any suggestions? Anybody want to be my mentor there?

Welcome to the club. I am experiencing the same addiction with the excuse that I will use the film with my photo club at school.

Nobody is supposed to dump the chemicals down the drain, septic tank or not! Find a place that will accept used film chemicals before you develop even one roll.

I have been reading up on Caffenol as a developer, but I'd still need fixer and the equipment to develop it all in. I'll probably right now just keep looking for somewhere that can just develop the negatives for a good price and use my film scanner to scan them in and print any I want. Right now I think the bulk loader will really help me on saving money once those rolls of film in my fridge run out. How long that will be is anybody's guess, but I bet it won't be too long!
