I simply sandwich my negatives in between store-bought baby wipes. They are already moist and come packaged in a variety of sizes. I put them in a ziplock baggy so they stay moist and have had no problems with this method as of yet. Bill- dalf...@aol.com wrote: My question to those of you

tupperware works ok to a point. you have to be very careful about scratching the film though. the best solution is the clearing tanks that hold 10-12 sheets of film. i bought two to take out in the field so i could keep the clearing solution in one and use the other to wash. they're great.

You could try NOT processing the film in the field. If I remember correctly you can push the dark slide back in place and pull the film out of the holder without processing the film. Once home you could put the film back in the holder and engage the processing level and pull the film through

If you use lith developer, you will get only blacks and whites. If you use dektol1:2 you will get some shades of grey. It's easy to try other film or paper developers since you can develop by inspection, just deelop until it stops changing. I think you'll get more pleasing results using Dektol.

I never did find anything that worked well and kept the liquid within its container. Even Tupperware containers will leak with enough agitation. The process got messy to the point where using Type 55 in the field no longer made sense to me. Cheers - george --- Colin Talcroft
