I have got a Fink-Roselieve developing tank for 2x3 3x4 and 4x5. I use it for 4x5 only.
I was wondering if with a really old type of film like Ansco Isopan they were meant to be agitated far more than modern emulsions?
I was also wondering that if I only half-loaded the tank (6 sheets) the developer might flow better around the sheets?
I agitate by shaking the tank side to side.
I just wanted to eliminate possibilities like bad film stock, poor agitation as I have had a mark on some negatives that just might suggest a light leak. It isn't there all the time.
I just hope (please God) that it is just the ancient Ansco I have been mucking around with or a poor agitation.
