Hello, A few weeks ago I started with large format photography. I own a Cambo 4x5 inch camera and a Durst Laborator 1200 enlarger with a color head CLS-500. I made som e nice pictures last week in Paris and I am very impressed of the quality. Every thing works fine until now, but I have problems with dust on my negatives(4x5). Before loading the holders, I use a vacuum cleaner in a seperate room. I use a vacuum cleaner to clean the room itself. If the holders are loaded with film and I start with an exposure I clean the holders in the field with a brush before I remove the darkslide of the holder. Anyway, every negative that I made contains particles of dust. Because I use Fiber base paper it is possible to remove the scratches using a retouching brush. But my general question is: is it possible t o make exposures on 4x5 inch film without any dust? Any recomendations are very welcome to this new 4x5 inch worker. Thanks in advance Johan Ditzel
