Can You Develop Film in ANYTHING?

Are you flushing the world's greatest black and white film developer down the toilet? This is one of the longest-lasting myths in the film photography world. It's been circulated by even the greatest minds at Kodak! So it was about time someone, somewhere put it to the test. So I teamed up with Dmitri from Analog.Cafe and Yvonne Hanson to put this mythical developer, among other forest finds, to the test. Here's what we found.
