RE: developing film negatives

Brad,
Since your familiar with paper and the regular darkroom I would suggest starting with an ortho style sheet film like Arista. This can be handled under red safelight and is similar in speed to paper. Develop it in Dektol diluted 1:7 for now until you get the hang of it. Later you might try a better extended contrast developer like Soemarko LC-1 Developer. After you tried this for a while you might try panchromatic sheet films in a tray. You will have to do this in complete darkness as any safelight will fog the film.
