Thanks Peter. A warning for all prospective watchers. You have to sit through 4.5 mins of an advert for some Chinese Dance Company before getting to Pete's video. I can put up with the usual 30 secs of advertising but 4 and a half mins is a bit much

Why on earth not just click "Skip Ads" and then the whole thing comes up, loud and clear and informative.

Thank you Peter.
You have inadvertently answered a puzzle about film processing.

Before I returned to darkroom work I had a couple of B&W films developed by Ilford / Harman Lab.
They list various sizes of films on their order form. The sizes are "27 exposures or 120 or 39 exposures."
I wondered who was making films with these odd numbers.
Now all has been revealed.

Cheers to you Peter.

I saw no "skip ads" box to tick. Am I the only one who missed this?

Thanks
