    How big is a 20x24 tray?

    You have no idea how hard it is to find out the dimensions of a 20x24 tray. Would one of you folks who has one mind nipping into the darkroom with a tape measure?

    It appears to depend on the specific brand but:

    24 x 28-1/4 x 3-1/2" - Plastic

    and

    21 X 25 X 3" - Stainless Steel

    are the two sizes I've found.

    Just go to Lowes or Home Depot and get some tubs for mixing mortar---black plastic with ribbed bottoms. They come in all sizes----some as big as a child's swimming pool.

    The tubs I bought from Lowe's work with 16x20s but they are a tad too small. I'd like some a couple inches bigger to make it easier to shuffle through a stack of prints in hypo or selenium.

    Second that -- fast service, too. I bought half a dozen 5x7 trays and spent under $30 including shipping; now I've got the right size for my 4x5 films; they shipped the following day and arrived well within the expected transit time. And now I have enough trays to process B&W reversal, if I need/want to...
    If a contact print at arm's length is too small to see, you need a bigger camera. :D
