Anybody develop color film at home?

If you can afford to shoot color film you can afford a sous vide, right? Plus you can use a sous vide for other things, they're super useful. Just don't put your sous vide straight into any chemicals.

It depends on what kind of film you have. I used to do E6 at home all the time. I was cheap and tried to reuse the developer more often than I should without replenishing it as well as I should, so my transparencies were usually a bit thinner than they should have been. E6 is a pretty simple process very similar to B&W if you get a home kit. The big thing is keeping the temp right. It's warmer than B&W and the chemicals do need to be warmed up before you start. That usually took me about 45 mins. (I came from the press world where getting the film out was more important than getting it perfect, so I learned to cut a lot of corners in developing, which was not a good habit.)

There are similar C41 kits that let you do it at home but I've never tried any. Temperature is still the important part. Before I got a jobo, I used a basin that I ran the water into and then put all the bottles of chemistry in there until they were warm enough. Then the developing tank was rolled around in the basin so it stayed at temp (you're going to need one with a cap). This is essentially a sous vide. I'm going to be that any at home kit should be fairly easy to use. They do tend to smell worse than B&W chemicals though.

Have fun!

Edit: attach a hose shut off valve and hose to your faucet. Once you have the right flow and temp, you can simply turn off the water at the valve so when you need it again, it should start right at the correct temp so you don't need to fiddle with things.

I am relatively new to film photography as an adult. For context, I have only shot about five rolls, all color. I developed my most recent roll at home. It turned okay but I need to get the hang of it. It felt like a lot to juggle with temps and timing.
