Hello,
I have been shooting paper negatives with Arista paper developed in their on "paper developer". While at Freestyle today, I found and bought a pack of 25 sheets of 5x7 film. This will be my first LF film.
- I understand that just like the 5x7 paper, I will have to trim the film to fit into a 5x7 Holder. No problem.
- I will be able trim, load and develop while my darkroom safelight is on.
- The sales'person said to try ISO of 3 and use the same developer (Arista Paper Developer), but dilute it at least 1:18 or more.
- I have never developed film in a tray. First time for everything.
- How do I dry the negative? I have an Excalibur Food Dehydrator. It is a PERFECT paper dryer. Do I lay the negative on a tray emulsion side up?
Any thoughts,
Douglas
ps I live close enough to Freestyle to ride my bike.
