OK so I apparently cut my 5x7s down a little too small.
The lab can't process em.
I don't have film hangers or a jobo. Are there any suggestions for processing this stuff at home?
Thanks

Your lab can't tape undersized film to standard leaders?? Find another lab. Otherwise, use trays at home.

I didn't think you could tray process c-41

You can in a tempered water bath. I wouldn't because it would be a tedious and time-consuming bother. I'd find a lab that has better-informed employees.

Is there any reason I couldn't roll a sheet into a stainless tank and process it in a similar manner to the BTZS tubes?
Why not just get a Jobo rocessor and 3006 drum for 5X7...???

The ~ $600 price tag + the cost of the processor is way more than I can afford right now.

Check out the uni color drum for processing. The 8x10 drum can hold one 8x10 two 5x7 or four 4x5
Jobo CPE2 (250-350$) + 2830 (up to 4X 5X7) 50-70$....

The Jobo 2830 drum will also process 8x10. To process more than 1 sheet at a time you will also need the spacers that slide onto the tanks ridges to keep the sheets seperate.
