Thanks everyone. There are a lot of good suggestions I’ll have to try next time. I’ll start with a pre-soak and hand agitation every few minutes.

That might end up being my solution. I just hate useing so much developer, when rotation is more economical. But good negatives are still the priority.

A wolf, glimpsed through a trail camera. This image is part of a larger documentary series I’m working on about the wolf’s return to Denmark after its extinction in 1813.

Hello, I’ve been having a recurring issue when shooting large format. It doesn’t always show up, but when it does, it’s pretty frustrating. I sometimes get overexposed/overdeveloped edges on my negatives, which seem to match the spiral track of the Jobo 2509n reel I use in my Jobo CPE 2. I’ve...

Hi everyone, My name is Miles, and I’m a danish photographer who recently finished my studies in photojournalism. My work sits somewhere between documentary, artistic, and anthropological photography, with a focus on long-term projects and spending time with the people and places I photograph...

I’m currently preparing an exhibition of my work and would really appreciate some input from those of you with more darkroom and exhibition experience. The plan is to print both 35mm (2:3) and medium format 6×6 negatives on fb paper, primarily in 8×10 and 16×20 inches. I like the idea of having...

I've been looking for an 8x10 enlarger for a couple of years now. For me, finding them for sale seems like a bigger problem than the price - I never see them for sale!

If you rotate the negative 180 degrees and scan again, the scratches should show up at a different place, if it were an issue with the scanner, correct? I've had scratches that don't show to the naked eye, but when light hits in the right angle, they will show.
