oh boy oh boy

We've all done something similar

I too load film with my eyes closed when I'm in the dark. Even when I'm
using a changing bag as I do for 35mm and 120/220 (it's darker than my
'dark'room).

If you find it hard to print thru the fog in the darkroom you really should
try scanning them. when you screw things up a good scanner can rescue every
last drop of detail from the neg AND correct the tonality in ways you can
only dream of in the darkroom

let us know how you get on

btw fog schmog. anyone who's used two-bath D23 extensively knows that you
can print through almost ANY level of fog.

full speed ahead and damn the torpedoes!
