The film holder is also a processing tank!

I like this idea for field developing, though the film plane offset is problematic for point and shoot 4x5 cameras. I'm wondering how difficult it would be to design this with a dynamic film plane which places the film/paper at the normal offset, then lowers it for developing.

The videos of Joe and Ethan making the giant peroxide reversals ( with one of these tank/backs ) is solid gold.
Such a fun process and a great product.

Set 2 infinity stops

Sounds like a great idea but point and shoots normally don't have infinity stops that are able to be modified. Even Cameradactyl's OG point and shoot 4x5 camera doesn't work with this back--you would need to get the 4x5 GO point and shoot with the built in offset.
