In a pinch you can cut down 120 backing paper and use the 6x4.5 (the closest together numbers) as your frame guide. If you need 120 backing paper, your local film development shop usually has a bunch from film they’ve developed recently.

So there are relatively cheap kits you can buy to use your phone or other digital camera you already have. Basically the fancier stuff you buy, the less arduous the process is. That said I started out with just a dark bag, dev tank, and a DSLR using household items for the rest

You could develop them in bleach-bypass. Dev using normal C-41 developer, then just rinse and fix with B&W fixer. Your color film will have slightly less saturation. Your B&W roll might get damaged by the heat of the C-41, though.
