Dear all,
I've seen this problem off and on since I started using my Toyo 45A a few months ago. My first forray into LF. Basically it is vertical banding. The example I have put on the web is the most extreme example but illustrates the problem. Most times it is very much more subbtle. I have bounced the possible reasons around and changed the way I do things to try and get rid of it without success. Specifically could it be a dark room problem - I develop my 5*4 negs in trays. Finally decided not. Could it be a dark slide insertion problem related to badly inserted film in the holder - could be? A lot of the problem negs have obvious evidence of slight rotation and I have occassionally problems putting the dark slide back in. Finally could it be a light leak while loading film in the field using a chaging bag?
Ho Hum
Alex.
