I have never used a large format camera but have recently come into possession of a 5x7 and an 8x10 view cameras. I'm setting up my darkroom in the next few weeks. Is there a good book anyone can recommend for a complete newbie into this area? I have done a lot of 35mm and medium format in the past so am somewhat familiar with the field.
Secondly, can black and white sheet film be handled safely under infrared illumination? If so, I am thinking about using my night vision scope to tray develop the film instead of tanks.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.
