fr developing tank?

[saverio]

Is anyone currently using or has anyone used the fr developing tank made in New York? Just curious about any nuances or particulars to watch out for or tricks for use: i.e loading, agitation, etc? Thank you in advance for any info and forgive me if this topic has already been covered.

If you are talking about the FR square shaped tank designed for sheet film. I used one years ago, and did not like the experience. The lid pouring funnel does not allow a cap, so you cannot invert for agitation. You are limited to rocking side to side, which can result in uneven development. For small runs of sheet film in 4x5 or smaller, I much prefer the Combi-Plan tank, which has a sealable lid, and can be inverted for agitation.
