Zerostat

[Curt]

Anyone using a Zerostat on large format film?

 

[Wyno]

I wish I still had mine to use on LF film. I threw it out when I got rid of my Technics direct drive turntable, and all my vinyl LP's. What a silly ......

I use it in the darkroom before I load my glass carriers.

How exactly do you use it?

I got one at a garage sale a while back and I know it's working because it lights up the little test tube that it came with, but I don't see what it's supposed to do. I have shot it over top of my vinyl records and I don't notice a miraculous dust-repelling effect or anything. I wonder if I'm doing it wrong?

 

[Marek Warunkiewicz]

It doesn't repel per se, but it does neutralize static so getting the dust off is easier and it does not attract as much dust.

I use one on my film. I even used it last week when my slacks were sticking to my legs, the dreaded static cling.
