Here we go...
1. Dust
As hard as I try keeping dust away from my negatives, I seem to always get the ugly black spots when I make a print. And even when I succeed in making exposures without dust on the negative, dust makes its way to my negatives somehow, even though I brush the negatives clean before making an enlargement, there's dust on my print (white spots).
How do you keep dust away from negatives at all times?
2. Loading film into tanks
I use one of these Nikor tanks (daylight safe) to process my 4x5:
I like these tanks. But while I like them, sometimes I have trouble getting them in. Sometimes is not only a problem getting them in, but I scratch the film, and sometimes I even get them stuck to other sheets. To those of you who use these tanks, any tips on safely loading the sheets into the tanks?
Thanks.
