From what I see, it seems most LF practitioners either do tray development or rotary processing. I don't have a darkroom and so trays are out of the question (I develop 35 and 120 in my kitchen, using a changing bag to load the tank). I would consider a Jobo, but that's a fairly expensive leap, in conjunction with the other stuff I would need to dip my toe in LF waters.
The back-end, were I to try this, would be digital. I have a Flextight X1 that can scan 4x5 negatives.
Thanks for any advice...
