As an alternative to Alan's reply:
- Film leader retriever (I pull the film out rather than opening the
canister, mainly because I have not been able to open one).
- An accurate measuring jug (although consistency is more important
than absolute accuracy with the measures)
- Changing bag (as you say)
- Developing tank (most will do 2 films at once if necessary).
- Thermometer.
- Accurate clock (I use an old clockwork one from Patterson in the
UK, it has Stop, start and reset buttons).
- Containers for your chemicals.
- I use wetting agent and hang the film rather use my Squeegee.
- Transparent envelopes for filing the negs.

Since I've never done it before, can someone list the items I need
to do my own B&W development?
If you care to list what I need for printing, that would be great too..
I need a darkbag, a can, and a clock. That's all I know. Please
tell me more about my darkroom needs.
The quality of the development has me really upset... The photos
were ok, the development was ok, the printing SUCKED so bad, I'm
redoing all of them in photoshop now.. arrg..
Thanks.
