Hi all! I recently got myself a Wista SP and cannot wait to get started shooting. This forum (and the brilliant book Using the View Camera by Steve Simmons) has been a great learning resource but there are still a few things that are not entirely clear to me, so I thought I’d ask here.
I plan on shooting Ilford delta 100, tray developing with ilfotec ddx and to begin with just contact printing on Ilford multigrade RC.
My question is, if I tray develop sheets one-by-one, after how many sheets would I need to replace the developing solution? I know it is generally done 6 at once with constant agitation but I’m curious. Could I develop, stop, then fix 6 sheets separately using the same developing time (N) in the same developer and maintain consistent results?
Also, regarding contact printing; I will use an old 35mm enlarger as a light source but since I have no electrical sockets in my bathroom (makeshift darkroom) I was thinking of exposing the sheets in one room and then transporting them in a changing bag to the bathroom to develop. Does this sound feasible?
Thanks
