RE: Shooting long range negs?
Hi Ross, Glad that things are getting better. See this for a DIY tray-processing-without-scratching solution: http://philbard.com/panel.html Just adapt the nice idea to your film size. (AFAIK, the original idea is attributed to John Sexton...)

Unfortunately I tempted fate (or overestimated my skills) and developed all 4 sheets in the sheet over sheet tray method and -- yep -- scratched 2. From Wikipedia: << Ars longa, vita brevis, occasio praeceps, experimentum periculosum, iudicium difficile.² This is often rendered in English as ³ Life is short, [the] art long, opportunity fleeting, experiment treacherous, judgment difficult. Hippocrates>> I used to be able to do this OK with 4x5 -- and bare hands, it's not so easy with gloves, but I would like to keep my fingers a little longer. Back tomorrow to try again, and then develop one at a time. Regards - Ross
