    Re: Daylight Tank options for 4x5

    For a 2500 tank you need the tank, spindle, funnel, lid * and cap. I have an old 2509 reel which works fine (I only use 4 sheets), and which I use for colour (E6, C41) with a CPE2. For monochrome I...

    Ahh, yes the bumps will lift the print/negs and you might need a little more chemical volume than me too. I agree on the air bubbles, but I'd be reluctant to remove the fins as I imagine they'd help...
  16. Re: Printing issue, light spots in one corner

    Out of interest what quantity of chemicals are you using in the Orbital? I've never seen anything like that with mine (4x5 negatives only), but I only use 100-150ml and I don't pre-soak. The only...

    Re: help please !!

    The lenses are worth at least £250 (assuming reasonable condition), so buy it and try it for portraits, and look at swapping the camera later on when you've figured out what's important to you.

    This was my first CPE-2 self-processed E6 a couple of weeks ago. The first 120 C41 reel didn't go quite as smoothly due to me (stupidly) not using the cap on the drum during processing!

    Re: Shoulder bag?

    The Tamarac Velocity bags might be what you're looking for. I'm using the 10x which is a bit larger than I'd like, but then an Arca monorail is probably a bit bigger than your Ebony.

    I think you should try the Orbital with less developer volume. I have read of somebody modifying the vanes to fix uneven development with large-ish chemical volumes, but I think it's better just to...
