well, as i wrote in a previous mail, i got access to the darkroom, and
more or less everything's intact (after i replaced several bulbs for
which i found some spare in the cupboard). there was some old paper &
old chemicals laying around, so i did some test strips just for fun & it
turns out that some chemicals even still are ok.. or at least, i can see
a picture when using them :). i had to use vinegar for the stopbath,
that didn't seem to cause any problems either.
i got most info off google and about.com. (except the vinegar part, that
was pure luck :)). the next thing i'll have to try is developing the own
film, not only the pictures.
anyhow, i scanned the (two) test-pictures i made so far. they have their
share of chemical spots and lack a little bit of contrast, but hey!,
it's fun to see the first own picture appear on paper! :)

this is the same one, developped by a (cheap) lab:

the pictures are just the way they came out of the scanner.
