    Suggestions for processing 5x7 in c-41 at home?

    OK so I apparently cut my 5x7s down a little too small.

    The lab can't process em.

    I don't have film hangers or a jobo. Are there any suggestions for processing this stuff at home?

    Thanks

    Your lab can't tape undersized film to standard leaders?? Find another lab. Otherwise, use trays at home.

    You can in a tempered water bath. I wouldn't because it would be a tedious and time-consuming bother. I'd find a lab that has better-informed employees.

    Is there any reason I couldn't roll a sheet into a stainless tank and process it in a similar manner to the BTZS tubes?

    The ~ $600 price tag + the cost of the processor is way more than I can afford right now.

    Check out the uni color drum for processing. The 8x10 drum can hold one 8x10 two 5x7 or four 4x5
