I lost a comma in there, oh well. Seriously I used to bulk load TXP,
HP5 and Pan-X. I stopped after I realized that no matter what I did I
always managed to have enough static electricity build up on the film to
cause low density parts of the image look like I'd been taking pictures
in a lightning storm. Had a lot of available darkness shots that were
unusable because of it. (I even went so far as to find a film loader
made of bakalite, for it's supposedly superior static resistance, no
joy). You may have better results but the technology isn't likely to
have improved much if at all in the past 20 years.

I can always count on you, Peter, for an encouraging word.
Thanks for not letting me down. <g>

I can understand why mankind hasn't given up war.
During a war you get to drive tanks through the sides of buildings
and shoot foreigners - two things that are usually frowned on during peacetime.
