Recently I've been using a nifty daylight developing tank for my 4x5 stuff. Specifically it's a Yankee Agitank. More and more I'm getting these crazy over-developed edges. I think I'm pretty consistent with my agitation (5 agitations per minute). I'm using PMK to develop. The over developed areas definitely match the slits that allow developer to circulate in the tank. It seems to only happen to about half of my negatives though. Any ideas? Is it just a cheap-o tank and I need to spend the big bucks on a better designed tank? I think I'm pretty gentle in my agitation... it's not like I'm shaking the tank vigorously or anything. I move the tank longways about an inch in each direction. Each full agitation takes about 2 seconds. I'd appreciate the help!
