While I have my theories on why this happened I wanted to pass on something that happened to me the first time I tried tray developing 8x10. First, that film is darned slippery when you have 2 or more in there. That aside, I went through th e entire process and had just finished fixing in TF-4. I thought I was hot stuff at this point. I turned on the lights and to my horror, there was still a sheet of film (I started with 4) in the PMK! I stood and stared at it, waiting for it to turn in the light. It did nothing. I pulled it out, gave it a rinse then a d ip in the stop bath, dropped in the TF-4 and fixed as normal. I then rejoined it with the rest of the film for post-development staining and a long wash. Oddly enough, this was the best neg of the bunch. I would be interested in hearing any one else's theory on why I did not destroy a perfectly good neg with a rookie bl under.
