I wonder if it makes a difference if you are working in a darkroom, or doing film loading in a bag or tent. The bulk of the film processing that I do is in a darkroom, and I have my eyes open there. I find that when I am in the field, loading LF filmholders in a dark tent, that I find visual stimuli very distracting and tend to close my eyes to be able to better concentrate on what my fingertips are feeling. I am just getting into MF photography, and have been loading reels in the darkroom, with my eyes open, and have not yet settled on a preference between the stainless reels, or the plastic Jobo (2502) reels. --- Claudio Bonavolta <claudio@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > ----- Message d'origine ----- > De: "Tim Rudman" <tim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Date: Tue, 5 Sep 2006 10:36:02 +0100 > Sujet: [pure-silver] Re: loading med format steel > reels > À: <pure-silver@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > > >Or as I do ...
