The other day I made two photographs. I was excited by their potential, and went home and processed the film. To my dismay I found a large (20% of the image) amount of fog on all four negs. I quickly located a light leak in the bag bellows and repaired it, mumbling under my breath... I can go back to the location and reshoot, that's no problem. But I wonder why this was invisible on the groundglass yet was so obvious on the neg? Wide open or stopped down, there was nothing unusual visible. If I'd seen it, I could have thrown the focusing cloth over the camera and saved two nice photos and two hours of work. Ideas anyone?
