Re: sheet film developing tanks...

I like the fact that the tanks take 12 sheets. It gives me a framework
within which to do my shooting. I almost always consider 12 sheets as 1
round of shooting. Keeps me organized. I don't want to have 1 or 2 random
images hanging around. And I also don't want to waste chemicals on a few
sheets, so I don't. May be restrictive for some, but having boundaries like
that lets me focus my grey cells on other things.
