You are right !  The darkslides we use have that are Fidelity holders do
have
only 5 'dots', so they are O.K.  I was getting confused with our Toyo
view holders
that have more dots on them, and they are defiantly O.K.

The

I agree with you in the fact that you can not take to many precautions
when handling
this film.  I was just stating that it is possible to do so with out
gloves if you need to.
But please everyone stick to what you knows works for you !
