Beginner question on tanks

[77seriesiii]

another option if the tank becomes heavy/awkward would be to purchase a 2 reel SS 120 film tank (http://macodirect.de) and do the 'taco' method. Plus if you get two reels you can develop 2 120/220 rolls at once. You wont be able to get as many 4x5 sheets in the 120 tank but...its an option and maybe you can save up/watch the auction sites for a roller in the EU

I have just failed to develop a decent Delta 100 with Rodinal 1+25: far too clear, even for snow. I suspect that the time of 8:30 is too long, or is it the water stop bath that is not fast enough?
Could, someone, recommend the correct processing time, based on first-hand experience?
Thanks, Serge

NB: CPP2 with Jobo 2553

A board and some skateboard or roller skate or furniture caster wheels will work. Build it yourself.

I did exactly this at the weekend. I was having issues developing with a 2521 / 2509N and inverting so I picked up 4 plastic castors for £2 and screwed then into a short length of 3/4" wood.

First sheets of Delta 100 developed using it ( 12 mins with Rodinal 1:50 20 degrees ), and they've finally come out right. The images might not yet be the best, but now I can't blame the developing.....

Joe,

Thanks for the Rodinal experience. I have some sheets and a 35mm roll of Delta 100 to process. I may just throw them all in Rodinal.
