To tell you the truth, I will be a very low volume operation, and was planning on processing one sheet at a time. So there is little danger of scratching the film. I really thought it would be...
I just bought the Dick Arentz book "Platinum & Palladium Printing." He has a cha pter on film processing. He himself seems to lean toward tray processing, becaus e he useses an unusually large film...

Thank you for your responses. They confirm what I had thought to be the answer. What prompted my question was some information I got from the Schneider lense site. The specification for the...
