    Re: Need help with the challenge of processing large format!

    Will probably get scolded for such a low tech solution. But hey, it works (with some drawbacks).



    I glued the PVC strips and the tube into my spare JOBO 2000ml tank.

    The sheets are held to the wall flexed with tension. One can use as little as 150ml of developer through slow rolling agitation.

    Fits two sheets

    A Patterson Orbital is a good solution for low volume processing, but they are quite difficult to find these days.

    Re: Need help with the challenge of processing large format!

    Hi everyone, thanks for your help! I got the MOD54 in the mail yesterday and developed a couple of sheets right away. I found it very easy to load. I think development was also good. This is awesome! I feel confident I can tackle C41 with this setup as well. Now to figure out my EI for the box of 320TXP that's lying in the freezer, deal with my leaking film holders, and try to shoot some decent images. I have one box of Kodak film that I need to use up. After that, I have to decide if I want to stick with Kodak or switch over to Ilford.

    Congrats! Grab a few smaller told of both films and see which is best, I'm guessing you'll go with ilford for the price

    I love TriX and have used it for years in 35mm and 120 but it might be time to support the only company that seems to be still committed to film.

    To the OP : Consider using Xtol and a replenishment method. Then you have no concerns about the large volumes of developer required,especially when only a few sheets require processing.

    Ian, thanks! I will try that. I have never used anything other than D76 and Rodinal (Blazinal).
