That's what you think. I use Linux to deploy Linux. But Linux isn't really Unix. And the last I checked, my analog equipment is very much intact, thanks. :wink:


TMI!!! :redface:

I have another absurd question that seems common sense but need reassurance from some opinions, does shaking the film canister that has exposed film inside of the film canister which is also inside of the plastic opaque container have a potential of ruining your film? Thank you!

This worry is unnecessary because you have made the following choices:
1, your development tank (development mode) design is reasonable.
2, the bracket fixed film firmly, and convenient loading and unloading film.
3, slow (prohibit violent) development stirring method.
4. Smoothly add and pour out the liquid.
Most importantly, take good care of your film like your eyes
That's my understanding.

I'm not too sure now thinking about it... Maybe I was assuming that the images would be messed up SOMEHOW.

I don't think it was a dumb question at all. If you are new to film it may seem that shaking a (for example) 35mm canister could damage the film because of motion friction inside the canister as the film moves.

As we seem to have gone far afield with this thread anyways, I may as well attach this reference, as Randall's enquiry made me think of it immediately:
