My 8x10 Tachi arrived today

[Roger Richards]

Howdy all, my 8x10 Tachihara (chrome) double extension arrived today from Midwest Photo Exchange. Jim put together an outfit for me with a 240mm Schneider Symmar-S, a couple of holders and some B&W film to get started. Thanks to all of you who helped me with my decision. My first impression of the Tachi is that is quite beautiful, and I hope to put it to good use :-)

Also, I was considering getting a Jobo 3005 tank for developing my own B&W. If anyone has knowledge of how well the Jobo manual rollers work with the 3005 tank I'd love to hear from you.

There's a previous thread on the 3005 subject here: www.largeformatphotography.info/lfforum/topic/499735.html.

Thanks for the pointer, Tom.
