Re: [Digital BW] way OT : 120 film tanks - tape warning

Be very careful with the tape on the film. If you leave it it may come off while developing. It will get stuck somewhere on the emulsion. You do not want that. Either cut it off or remove. I do the later with 100% success. Best, Jack _________________________________________________ Jack M Kucy JMK Gallery (www.jmk-gallery.com) 917-991-2096 jmk@...
