I recall the specifics of processing this in a tray; but, just how wonderful would an Patterson Orbital processor be for that precise aggitation-and-still processing? It strikes me as being very well matched especially with small volumes of chemicals used to exhaustion and dumped. Have you done it with an Orbital?

Kodalith Ortho in a Paterson? Yes, but it's more tricky.

In a safelight it means you can develop as long as the neg needs, but in a paterson you need to waste a few sheets trying to get correct dev time. I can't remember what I found my times to be. They'll be floating around in the forum somewhere. I have loads of this film left but nothing to shoot it at!

Well, an Orbital can be agitated in a fashion rather like it was done in a tray only you agitate the Orbital or stop the Orbital manually -:rolleyes: or by the motored base. It would have to be "worked" out somewhat I suppose; but no getting chemicals on the hands! Rinsing off could be done in the tray-base
