Re: Wisner 4x5 Traditional

["Don Bryant" <dsbryant@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Wow, that's completely the opposite of my experiences I've had! I'm just
baffled by the results I'm getting. I've gone through 1 box of HSI B&W and
every negative has been scratched and fogged. I've solved the scratching
problem by processing only one sheet at a time in a 5x7 tray, but each sheet
has heavy fog on each end of the narrow side of the film and lesser fog on
the 5 inch edges.

I've used three different types of film holders, Lisco, Fidelity and Riteway
with identical results. Regular film shows no sign of fogging so the light
leak is IR. Therefore I suspect the bellows. I can use the IR bellows with
regular film and get no fog. I guess my next step is to wrap the entire
bellows assembly in aluminum foil and tape it to the front and rear
standards. If that doesn't stop the fogging then I would think that the rear
standard leaks light.

Thanks for your help.
