H+S innit.
I kid you not. We have to use disposable gloves and aprons now, as even
if lab coats are washed after a spillage, they are still deemed to be
'contaminated'.
We used to use cotton lined long rubber gloves for putting our hands
into chem tanks. They were really good, and didnt make your hands too
sweaty when in use. They also lasted 2 or 3 months.
Now we use a thin pair of latex disposables covering the hand, then a
pathetically thin pair on 'vets' gloves which go mostly up the arm. You
could drain them off after use, and fill a cup with the sweat inside
them.
Snag them on a little nick in the tank, and your hand gets soaked in
chem, without you knowing it.
Thats progress apparently.

Well, that would be right for overcast weather with about a 200-400 ISO
film. Though I don't know why you wouldn't use FP4.
Sorry, Delta 100.
Then he went on to print the 5x4 negs (might even have been 5x7) on a 6x6
enlarger. I've never cropped negs with a pair of scissors, myself.

At one time the fellow seemed to be getting colour prints out of a 2-bath
process. Perhaps he had a stock of 20-year-old Agfachrome-Speed.

I'd love to, but I've got awfully keen on not buying film.
