What and where are you shooting?

In the old days, when we didn't have enough DDS, we used to box up the exposed film so as to be able to reuse the slides. Of course you need a spare triple box to start with and a darkroom (or light tight cupboard). In a studio not so much of a problem but location would be trickier, but still possible. I have done it on location with 4x5 in a changing bag. Wouldn't advise it with 8x10 though, even with a big bag. You would need a small changing tent which Teamwork list at £159

They also list list 5 8x10 DDS + a Fidelity (not sure how many), in s/h. £30 each + vat

hi bacardi,

we are shooting on school fields doing whole school panoramic photography, so changing them on location is not an option really.

got a lot of jobs coming up and was just looking for some as spares while they are getting dev'd

thanks for the advise tho
