I strongly recommend tubes. Very cheap to make, don't have to be used in complete darkness, and pretty much impossible to scratch the film (which can be a problem with trays). See http://people.smu.edu/rmonagha/brontube.html for how to make a light trap for them. If you don't want to go through

Rob, The way I process my sheet film is to slide the film in the tray, emulsion down, and then agitate front to back a couple of times then side to side a couple of times. Let rest. Then at 30seconds, lift one corner up and down a couple of times to agitate. It will create agitation both in

all this left right up down is a little dyslexic, especially if you can't see, so here is a tactile way to identify the emulsion side... the emulsion side will absorb moisture so just hold your finger on it for several seconds and it will feel sticky... this goes for paper, too at hartwick

The notches serve two purposes, film identification and film orientation. With the film held vertically (8 across the top, 10 down the sides) and the notches along the top edge nearer to the right side, the emulsion is facing you. Dick Gifford Pete eckert wrote: (snip) ...I noticed some

I made a 8 x 10 camera to take glass plates. It was intended to have liquid light painted on the plates so I could play with drawing with the emulsion. It's the rainy season here in Northern California. so the camera is much to slow four what I intended to do with it. I only found this out after

A beautiful photograph I wonder if you remember the time at each exposure and go through the same or a similar process for other images. I think this is one of the strong points about pinhole - multiple exposure. What time does the T Max 400 need for such exposures? I am thinking of using film
