One of my first tasks in the job I still have was processing Kodak Direct Positive B&W film for a Mass Communications class. I'd load two - 20 exposure rolls of film on each reel, back to back, and process 10 reels worth (on a long rod for agitation) in one gallon tubular glass tanks. It was loading time plus 40 minutes processing time in the dark. Don't miss doing that many at a time. ;~) Alan Alan Magayne-Roshak, Senior Photographer UPAA POY 1978 University Information Technology Services University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee amr3 at uwm.edu http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/ "All the technique in the world doesn't compensate for an inability to notice.
