That sounds ideal. Usually I load in a film changing bag so I don't
know if that would work. Maybe if I plan ahead I could load in my
film processing place at night. Maybe the cramped quarters of the
film changing bag is part of the problem. It never was with 4x5 but
of course you need more elbow room with 8x10.
