There's a solution with cadmium, but iforgot which one. We 're wearing gloves of course. He did the actual inserting the plate in the holder and pull it out and put in the developer as you have to do them in the dark. He converted his trunk as a portable darkroom for that. Overall, it's pretty easy once you have the system setup. He says the plate is hard to scan, I'll let you folks know next week. I sold all my enlarger paper (oops) and move to contact paper but will figure something out Thanks On Nov 7, 2010 2:33 AM, "Tarek Charara" <tcharara at mac.com> wrote: > Ahhh, wow! that's something I put on my "things I want to do list"! i have a 8x10 camera from the early 20th century with a carl Zeiss lens that I want to use for just that?
