Howdy folks! I joined this forum a few weeks ago after receiving an Anasco Agfa 5x7 view camera as a Christmas gift. After some initial inspection I think she's good to go (very clean lens, shutter cocks and fires seemingly at various speeds still, bellows still light-tight, no front focus but rear tilt and shift works great...) so I want to take her for a test drive. Of course this begs the question "what am I going to do about the negatives"?
I just sold my house and my wife and I are renting while we decide where to move next, so I have next to no space to build a darkroom. I'm seeking advice for developing B&W sizes 35mm, 120/220, and 5x7 (...or 4x5 if this rig doesn't work out.) I will most likely be using the guest bathroom that I'll have to setup and breakdown for each use. I will be scanning the negatives, so no need for enlargers and paper trays, just the film. Is there a silver bullet for getting all this in one tank, or should I resign myself to buying a few smaller tanks for the 35 and MF and getting a dip'n dunk for the 5x7?
I haven't developed my own film since 2000 and I kind of thinking of seeking out a darkroom class for a refresher and get access to their lab instead of having to move stuff all the time...
Thanks in advance!
