I would like to do some stand processing, and would like the smallest possible 4x5 saylight developing tank. Your suggestions? I would like to use minimal chemistry...

I made one that uses 35ml of solution for a single 4x5 sheet, but it's not production-ready yet. I think the final version will have a larger chemical capacity-- maybe 50ml, or so.
Don't know about the smallest but 4 Tacos in a Paterson 2-reeler needs 800 ml or 200 ml/sheet, agitate or stand.
6 sheets (some skinflints do 12 back to back) in a combiplan uses about 1 quart of liquid.
I wish there were something in 8x10 for daylight developing with minimal volume.
I develop 5 at a time, taco method in a ss tank. Takes 800mm chemistry, I use the small rubber bands that just fit around your pinky. I have not done it yet but your could do 10 if you did two levels in a tall tank.
A Paterson Orbital will develop 4-4x5, or 2-5x7 or 1-8x10 with 70ml developer (actually 60ml, but I use 70).
