Have any of you tried the 20th Century Camera sheet film reels made for Patterson tanks (for example, the QL45-P for 4x5 sheets (https://20thcenturycamera.com/collections/frontpage/products/4x5-6-sheet-quick-load-film-reel))? I'm trying to decide between that system and the Stearman Press tank, so any insight would be appreciated.

I have only just heard of these, I would be interested too.

I've got one of his 8x10 reels ... but for Jobo tanks, amazingly easy to load.

Is there uneven development around the 'arms'?

I have these reels for 4x5. I have not experienced uneven development around the arms. The watchout will be if you use Bregger film, which I understand has emulsion on both sides of the film

Yes, or xray film. Thanks for the input, Charles!
