I just got my first LF camera today (a used Calumet 45N off eBay), and now I've got a couple of questions.
1. When I was taking some pictures today, my (homemade) focusing hood kept saili ng around in the wind. What's the best way to attach it to the camera? Is ther e a special way to sew it (maybe like a tent or something)?
2. I'm getting ready to develop the pics I took (Ilford Delta 100 in D-76), and I was wondering about developer capacity. I buy D-76 in the quart size, and the re's no information the envelope to help. For 35mm, I always diluted D-76 1:1 ( 4oz developer/4oz water). I figure a 4x5 neg has the equivalent surface area of a 15-exposure roll of 35mm film, so I should be able to develop two sheets in o ne mixture of D-76, right?
3. Is it better to place the file emulsion-side up or emulsion-side down in a tr ay to develop?
Thanks
Curtis
