I have accumulated a random assotment of 4x5 equipment (http://www.largeformatphotography.in...023#post561023)
and I am trying to just start in 4x5 format.
I have developed 35mm and 120mm film, but I am by no means an expert, or even consistent (Probably less than 20 rolls total). I stick to black and white, because it is part of the fun for me, and I'm hesitant to try color, especially with the cost per shot of LF.
I have a jobo 2521, 2523 and yankee 4x5 film developers. I also have an assortment of darkroom trays, though none small enough to fit 4x5's without a lot of movement. I feel like I already loose track of paper in 8x10's with the safelight on.
What is an easier method to start developing 4x5's? Should I stick with trays and do one sheet at a time? or are the jobo's or yankees better? I might have a motorized base, but it is a beseler and not a jobo. I would rather do inversion with the jobo or the yankee. Is this practical or is it just a waste of chemicals?
Thanks!
