Agreed 100% But having said that, and like may others here who have been using Foma film for many years, these days Foma films / products have very good QC. Processing 5x4 film is always tricky and errors occasionally happen - sheets can touch / overlap during processing and you can even leave a dirty big finger print on a sheet of film! I have had sheets occasioally ovrerlap during tray processing and from what has been described, re the damage to sheet ,this to me is what I would be looking at rather than a manufacture issue. Neil.

Developing sheet film
When I started out with photography 1n 1962 or was it 63 - no matter. The only camera was an MPP Mk7. All the film developing was done in a small deep tank that would hold around 10 frames of film - This was was TriX developed in Kodak D163, actually a paper developer which came to us in powder form.
In the 18 months or so I worked in that department the boss and I must have developed perhaps 150-200 sheets of film between us with not one failure. Could the problems some have when developing the sheet film in a dish rather than a tank? |

I take it you have checked that the fix is working properly?

Good evening Mitch. Fix was mixed fresh 1+4 for the session when this happened. The 3 other sheets in the tray were all fine, and the same fix happily processed 2 rolls of HP5 a couple of nights later. Just weird.

Just checking Have you had a chance to print the negative that will be the real test to see if it interferes .

Hi Mitch, haven't been in to print anything. Will be in the darkroom next few days to make something for Round 141 and will give it a bash then.
Any bets? I'm expecting looong printing time and very harsh contrast. |
