Re: Re: sheet film

Hi Gord!

On the subject of development by inspection, I did find some references which my be of interest to people on the list doing their own LF film processing (I have not used d-by-i myself but the references are solid and worth bookmarking for future use).

Check:
1. Ed Buffaloe at the Unblinking Eye
http://unblinkingeye.com/
http://unblinkingeye.com/Articles/Inspection/inspection.html

2. Michael A. Smith DEVELOPING FILM BY INSPECTION
http://www.michaelandpaula.com/mp/devinsp.html

and in French language
Jimmy Peguet Le développement des plan-films par inspection
http://www.galerie-photo.com/developpement-par-inspection.html

Note: The web site www.galerie-photo.com is a first-class reference site for all frencophone people on the lisr.

That's it for me.

And now everybody shout : "Keep on pinholin'!"
