Hi,
I'm about to set up 4x5 developing (printing will be after scanning only so no wet printing) and I'm suspecting there's a whole slew of Frequently Asked Questions that some forum members have long grown tired off, so maybe a final wrapper-up thread on this might be useful.
There's a lot of films, developers, fixers and whathaveyous out there and probably sufficient threads on how to deal with them, but I'm into the more basic stuff for 4x5 (or larger) newbies like myself:
- How much table space do I need in the darkroom to rather comfortably load the film?
- Anyone got any neat tricks to keep dust down when loading film?
- Film with notches at bottom left when the film older is oriented like it is on the camera means emulsion is front, right?
- Developing: in trays (scratches? gloves?), Combiplan (discontinued), Yankee tank (uneven development risk), metal frames dunk tank (hard to source in the EU), selfmade film tanks and holders, rotary tubes, MOD54 in a Paterson thank, any other neat tips?
- The questions I forgot?
Thanks for helping me and the other newbies out.
