[Frameworks] The Russian LOMO Tank Light Leak.

[Amanda Christie]

  I actually did have this problem with one lomo tank once, and I've  
used several.  When I was in Rotterdam, there were several lomo tanks  
and there was one particular tank that had a light leak at the  
opening... the little round thing at the base of the handle in the  
centre didn"t have a tall enough lip.

solution:  i would process in subdued light (but not total  
darkness)... and whenever i wasn't pouring chemicals, i laid a black  
towel over top of it (black towel doubled up on itself).... and that  
did the trick.

of course i was using really low iso films... but this was the  
solution.  turn the lights on low, and grab a black towell!
