Hello all,
I have been using 4x5 and 8x10 filmholders in a changing bag for the last couple of years without too much dust problems.
I now am also using some banquet cameras (7x17 and 12x20) and have had many more problems with dust on the film than I have had in the past with the smaller for mats. I suspect that it has to do with the filmholders touching the tent while changing the film.
I also think that the plastic darkslides will tend to build up a static charge w hen being pulled or inserted into the holder, which contributes to the problem.
I was thinking about trying an anti-static spray on the filmholders, one made by Modern Solutions or maybe Optimax. Does anyone have any suggestions on a solut ion that is proven to work for filmholders?
As always, your thoughts and comments are appreciated.
