Most of us have awakened from the following nightmare in a cold, heavy sweat.
Some of us (like me) have actually suffered the experience:
You bring 7 loaded film holders, all identical, to a remote location. You’re there for a long weekend. No extra film, no film stores. Your first session, you take out 3 holders & expose all six shots. Everything goes perfectly. You put the holders back in the bag, no particular order. Hours later, your next session, you realize you didn’t reverse the darkslides for the 3 holders you used – nor did you indicate in any other way which ones they might be.
All you know is that you have 3 holders w/ six exposed sheets, and 4 holders w/ eight unexposed sheets – all mixed together.
After screams and curses, what’s your best strategy?
Any tips to share about managing multiple holders? Do you use more than one safeguard?
