whatever cost you need to develop your film is always cheaper than sending them to some 'unknown' and let them screw up your hardwork. Nothing can be dearer than you screw them up yourself

Just came back from Ruby today. Asked the uncle how much was it for a whole set of developing equipment and chemicals. He told me its a whopping 170 dollars! The 170 bucks gives you the tank ($30~), the thermometer ($20), the measuring cylinder($9), the developer, the fixer, the stop bath and one more chemical i cant remember and the changing bag ($33). He said the solutions will probably only get you 10 rolls of film or so. Any way to cut down the costs? Do i really need to buy a 33 dollar changing bag? Can't i just sew one myself or something? I'm still a student and 170 bucks is really quite a lot but I'm really interested in developing my own B&W film.

Precisely, it took me 2 rolls of @#@%@$-lousy developing from the labs that totally destroyed my negs, that i decided to develop myself. Thank goodness i did.

You spent so much effort shooting and you really don't want some idiot screwing up your negs.
