I process 8x10 negatives in trays and get great results that I don't get when I use hangers in 3 1/2 gallon tanks. There must be a better way of washing such la rge negatives than by transferring them to hangers while wet? I've been doing 4 x5 for years, and made a nifty washer out of plexiglass with slots, not that muc h unlike a print washer but without the dividers. My fear is that the larger fi lm is not as ridgid as 4x5 and the turbulence of the water will make the 8x10's pop out of the slots and possibly scratch one another. I seem to have problems with photoflo drying on 8x10 negatives and not doing wh at it is supposed to do. I have tried diluting it more and it still dries to a mess. Any suggestions would be welcomed.
