The DCP has settled on steel spiral reels. I was all for this but a number of the beginners really had a problem with them. In all fairness to metal reels (which I use exclusively and DO NOT want to get in a debate over) I think it was mostly mental blocks. However, I did have one participant who kept saying (over and over) that it was "so much easier" with plastic (Patteson). Well, yes, if one has already learned how to do those!

And another old timer (getting back into the darkroom) mentioned the film aprons. I hadn't seen those in decades.

We have three more classes scheduled in January and February.
