I took a photography class once where we developed our own black and white film. Getting the exposure just right while taking the shot, then processing the reel, then transferring the negatives was so tricky, especially when the subject lighting had a lot of dynamic range. Must have been a lot harder back then without all the optimized commercial chemistry supplies. But, perhaps this was a glass etching and not film?
