I shoot film basically daily, though I have moved on from 35mm and OM in
general in favor of 6x7 and 4x5.
Dawid, color develoment and printing is no harder than b&w, easier in some
cases. You could easily handle it. I use a phototherm SSK-4 for film
development and fujimoto cp-31/ cp-51 for ra-4 printing.
I shot bricks of e6 back in the day, but there is not much need for it these
days, I think. C-41 has caught up or surpassed it in basically every meaningful
way.
Enjoy,
Ed
Then again, who DOES still shoot their OMs daily around here except
Ken and myself? I Just dropped off my first colour rolls run through
my OM system (Portra 400) today. As I said, I might shoot some colour
this year. I might hate it, but oh well. I definitely know that I hate
my scanner's 35mm capabilities (Epson V700) but that's not an
insurmountable problem.
I secretly want to get myself set up for colour development, so that I
can shoot some colour 4x5in - that at least should be worthwhile. I
miss my big transparancies (did a lot of 6x17cm slide film at one
time) but nobody does E-6 development of larger formats around here
anymore.
