Quite the opposite, unless it's filtered. Filtering is the key - it's quite astonishing how much crap even the simplest screen will pick up over a few hours. I would try to seal the room as much as possible except for a specific ingress point, where I would have a thick foam filter. Wash the foam every couple of hours' use. > > FWIW, the room will be 8x8, in the basement, with a galley-style layout > - a wet side opposite a dry side with space down the middle from the > door to the opposite wall. > > Thanks a lot, and much appreciated. > > -- > Scott Loveless > http://www.twosixteen.com/fivetoedsloth/ > > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > [email protected] > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > ----------------------------------------- Email sent from www.virginmedia.com/email Virus-checked using McAfee(R) Software and scanned for spam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
