It sure can Bill.
My one and only home development of IR went hooribly wrong, although 1-2 were
kinda
funky.LOL
The PZ-1 has the DX window, so i have al foil and electric tape over that. I
oad and
unload in the
bathroom(what serves as the darkroom) and seal the can with tape so as not to
pop the lid
off.
Brother Aaron did my first roll and the lab around the corner from work now
does it as its
a lot closer. I
shot at 125 f 11 and mark that on the can. That work out to iso 200 i think. I
can never
get that straight.
I'll pick up my GFM roll right now. The cannister had the grey lid as i lost
the original,
but i overed it in foil.
Lets see if they are ok or fogged. I'll report ;later
