Hi,
I just found out I loaded 2 sheets of film in 1 side of the film holder by mistake. The first developed is fine. The second one I put it back in the holder. Is it safe to use it or it’s not worth it? Thanks. Tri

What film?

In the interest of scientific advancement (and of doing anything to avoid the work I actually should be doing) I just measured an unexposed sheet of 4x5 FP4+ I had lying about and it stops around 5 stops worth of light...

Unless you are on a very tight budget or it is ULF film, I'd dump it.


Cheers, Bob.

Well done! You've just discovered a little-known LF bracketing technique.
