[Largeformat] TMax and Pinholes
I have just started using 4X5 after many years with 35mm and 120. It
seems that about every 4th or 5th negative I develop has a single
pinhole (tiny clear spot with no density-never in the same area).
I'm using Tmax 100 with a Readyload holder developing in Xtol 1:1
tray processed one sheet at a time. At first I thought I had a
problem with my Stop bath (Kodak Indicator mixed 1:43) so switched to
a water rinse Stop but have gotten single pinholes using both
approaches. Boy would I be grateful for some suggestions. While I'm
getting some experience with what Tim Rudman "The Photographer's
Master Printing Course" calls "knifing" it is certainly not something
I want to become expert at. HELP! Rick Jones
