I have always loaded my developing tanks shortly before developing the films.

I've always done this - more or less out of habit.

However, I did toy with the idea of loading the Paterson Tanks a few days before actually doing the film development.

So it made me wonder - what does everyone else do and why ?

I have never seen any claims or otherwise to the "light-proof-ness" of developing tanks.

Its inevitable that where ever I leave the tanks in my house at sometime in the day they will be in direct sunlight.

Does anyone have any thoughts or experiences they would care to share ?

Thanks

Martin
