Robert and Raid:
                 Actually I don't have a technical reason to use film sheets 
according the cameras format I'm using. The true reason is that I would like to 
try the Rollei plates adapter and the Domi-Plan tank and the ISO 25 film is 
also included, the last time I used a lower than 50 ASA/ISO film was a 
Panatomic X ISO 32 when I was a teenager. I also would like to experiment 
loading film sheets to the camera and developing them, these are new things to 
me.
Thank you Robert for the opinion about the fixer.-

Carlos
