Hello everyone. This is my first thread here
In the process of film processing, I understand that the temperature control is very important, but I do not fully understand about the details about it.
First of all, do i have to make sure the chemicals is at the right temperature, or is it just the mixture's temperature that I have to worry about?
Secondly, if it is just the mixture that I have to worry about, how do i make sure the mixture stay at the same temperature throughout the processing in the developing tank? Especially when the summer (currently based in Australia) is getting near, it is harder to just use the room temperature and develop, hoping for the outcome to be acceptable.
If the temperature is crucial, is there any equipment that I can use to maintain the temperature or use the waterbath technique that I heard (dipping the developing tank in water and monitoring the water temperature ) ?
For what it's worth, I'm usually dealing with Kodak Tri-X 400, developing using the R09 One Shot developer.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
