We've been to the same and similar places, and I know and understand the conditions in which you work. However, this is something I must try, and from what I gather, from messages on this list and on other lists to which I subscribe, it can be done. If I fail at it, it's no big deal - I won't be processing any important photos at first, and it's just possible that I may succeed. Heck, Weegee used to process his film in the trunk of his car <g>. You say that a Jobo is essential to for the best possible negatives. Which Jobo is that? Are you talking about the expensive electric one that continually rotates the drum? - -- Shel Belinkoff mailto:belinkoff@earthlink.net
