OK, it was my first attempt and the dark slides had been preloaded by the chap I bought my kit from but upon
developing in a Stearman Press tank, all 4 sheets had scratches and dust to some degree. Some were severe and others less so.
I unloaded the DDS and transferred the film to the SP tank in a large changing bag and was careful in the handling. I did notice that the DDS were quite dusty inside, so maybe the previous owner wasn't to bothered about keeping them clean. I've also read that Fomapan film is susceptible to scratching...is this true?
Any advice for loading DDS and then best practice for loading SP tank?
