Re: Type 55 Field Use

You could try NOT processing the film in the field. If I remember correctly you can push the dark slide
back in place and pull the film out of the holder without processing the film.

Once home you could put the film back in the holder and engage the processing level and pull the film
through to process it.

But then you don't get to see the results immediately and its not much different than using regular film.
