From the site: Contents: 1 graduated cylinder 10.5 oz / 300 ml. 1 graduated cylinder 17.5 oz / 500 ml. 1 universal developing tank body 2 multi-format auto-feed spirals for developing tank 1 set of 3 developing trays (for up to 8 x 10 inch prints) 1 print squeegee 3 print tongs 1 set of film clips 1 stirring paddle 1 straight thermometer. I'd guess an enlarger would be wanted, unless you are using large format film and are making contact prints. It sounds like your best investment could be signing up for some night classes in darkroom. As for this kit, it strikes me as somewhat expensive for what you are getting. For trays, graduates, clips, squeegee (use a sponge!), try a kitchen orc hardware store. You'll get a better deal. Really the only thing "special" you need for developing film is the tank & reels.
