Out With My 14x17 DIY Camera & XRAY Film

[Andrew O'Neill]

Thanks for the video. Good looking camera. I suggest you carry through with a much larger dark cloth. Mine for 7x17 is 5x8 feet. You may need one 6x8 or 7x10 for really good coverage. Another suggestion - leave the dark cloth on the camera at all times, especially when inserting the film holder through removing it.
I like your single tray method - practical and space saving.

Thanks, Jim. I now have a much larger, darker, dark cloth. Normally, I leave the dark cloth on, but I wanted the viewers to see the holder going in and out. I probably should have mentioned that. Thanks for the tip! My darkroom is quite small, hence the single tray. I actually prefer working this way now, even when making smaller prints. Cheers!
