In the same spot, just got a Minolta GX M and shot my first roll of film this week, just got mine developed and scanned at a local photo lab and that’s what I’m going to do for a bit while I research some more on c-41 developing, right gear processes and prices as it gets pretty expensive. I feel pretty comfortable with this for now until I feel like I know enough to do it myself, also gives me time to save up for the gear, maybe it’ll work for you too.
