Looking around I haven't really seen any kind of an 'archive' that discusses stand and semi-stand development.
I am wondering what developers people seem to gravitate towards, times, dilutions, techniques, equipment, etc...
I've got a slew of hard-rubber tanks of various sizes and a wide variety of sizes of film hangars from 8x10 to 2x3.
I can also mix any developer from scratch, so relying on what I've got on hand is not an issue.
I will say I am prone to using Pyro PMK in my JOBO and I shoot a lot of HP5+.
Kind of wondering what I should expect from stand development. I've done some reading and am seeing what to expect 'in theory' and yes, I do understand the limitations of personal EI + scanning a negative or a print + the limitations of showing a .jpg online + personal preferences, etc...
Looking for any and all input honestly. I am considering doing the majority of my processing with hangars and tanks and slowly phasing out the JOBO. I do shoot an awful lot of 4x10 though, so I think I will need to continue to use the expert drum to process those. I do not know of any 4x10 film hangars. I do have some 4-up 4x5 development hangars...maybe I can modify them to process 4x10...that is another thread though I think.
Anyway, thanks for your comments in advance. I'm very interested in real world experience to see what you all have done.
