I dunno. A few hundred, I guess.

The x-rays you developed don't count. Do you still use hangers? If not why did you
stop?

I'm still waiting for an answer from scarpitti.

Mike, I'ved used 4x5 film hangers in small CLOSED "daylight" tanks with
mostly poor results. Next time I use them I'll do it the right way with
open tanks in total darkness.

Did you use the conventional agitation methods?
