I am newish to LF but not to b&w photography and processing. I've made the big leap of faith to LF but can't get even development with my sheets. I use a dayl ight tank to process. I know about jobo-type rotary processing but would like t o make sure I can't get good results with my tank before I put money into a diff erent processing system. In particular, the sides of my negs(but not top or bot tom - that's in the vertical orientation) build up a little more density than th e rest, and general uneven blotchiness happens in continuous grey areas like ski es. My tank is set up so that sheets slide into grooves on either side of the t ank. I've tried agitating both parallel to the sheet faces and perpendicular to the sheets, parallel gives better results but still uneven. Does anyone out the re use daylight tanks and get predictable results? Please help! By the way, I' m using 4x5 apx 100 in d-76 1:1. Any thoughts or help other than "use trays" or "use a rotary processor" are much appreciated! Thank you.
