That sounds maybe ok too (other then the color) because I think sheet film has such latitude that could not be screwed up by continuous agitation. E6 seems like too much trouble and lacking in consistance without test strips. Do you feel you are able to get the same repeatable consitancy as a Lab. Then you have to mount them! Seems like a lab would be worth it. Mark Rabiner
