Okay, I'm taking a photography class this semester, and I don't have time with my other classes to develop the photos needed every week.

Do you know if most photo places will just develop negatives for you if you ask, not actually make pictures from them? Because I need the negatives of each assignment given, and it would cut down my time pretty greatly if I could just have a shop develop them for me each week.

Also, I kind of suck at the pitch black developing part, and I'm pretty sure it would boost my grade to have a pro do that part.

If color then no problem. Just mark the "negatives only" part of the envelope. If black and white, you might be pressed to find a place that would develop them.

I don't know what your time constraints are, but to develop and dry b&w is about 40 to 50 mins with most of the time taken up by the drying. 12 to 15 mins is taken up by the developing process.

They're all B&W. I guess I can check the local Diamond photo, since I know they develop film for you.

The only problem is I live about 45 minutes from the campus, so I can't really go drive down to the photo lab whenever I want, and I have classes for most of the time I could develop them.

Mainly though I just want to get an A in there, and the first roll I developed came out kind of shitty, a few scratches on the film, dust etc. Better let a pro handle it.

Why do you need to go to campus? Developing black and white rollfilm requires about $40 worth of materials, just do it at home. There's no need for it to be pitch black either, the only part that needs to be done in the dark is loading the film onto reels and putting the reels in the tank.

You need a developing tank with reel, a measuring cylinder, a couple empty milk jugs, a thermometer, a kitchen timer, a couple pants hangers (the kind with clips on each end) to hang your film from to dry, and some fixer and developer concentrate.

Poor college kid is poor, I can barely afford the film I have to get each week, so I'm trying to use the chemicals, tanks, etc that the school provides.

I guess developing at a shop would cost a bit, but I think it'd still be cheaper than buying all the stuff myself.

It depends how many rolls you are going to develop during the class. If its like over 10 rolls youll waste money by not doing it yourself.
