    I don't really need one but I signed up anyway.
    Thread killer.

    I backed it. I've never found a great 4x5 dev solution...I usually use a Beseler print drum and unicolor base, but still get occasional uneven results from that setup, due to turbulence inside the drum (that, and the thing needs to be given a 45º tilt every 1.5-2min to ensure exhausted developer doesn't stay in the same spots). I've also given up on doing c41 color in the drum.

    I'd maybe buy a 5x7 version, but my current scheme––an ancient Angelus daylight tank for dip n dunk hangers––works pretty alright. Except it uses two liters of chemistry an is very slow to fill/drain. For 4x5, however, I'm very optimistic about this: If it makes processing color 4x5 as hassle-free as processing color rollfilm, it's worth it.

    Anything that helps new LF shooters get out there and shoot more film is good in my book.

    Might be all those WANDERLUST by Travelwide buyers need something.

    I hope there is an uptick in 4x5 film sales and we get a report on that.

    After thinking about it for a couple of days, I decided to jump in. Sometimes I have only a few sheets to process and I'm too lazy to pull out the Jobo.

    Kind regards,
    Alan

    The problem with this poll is that the number of sheets may most likely be controlled by the capacity of the processing tank. A better poll might be: what would be the ideal number of sheets of 45 would I like to process at one time?

    Bob,

    Thank you for saying "poll" I had NO IDEA this was a poll thread because the title doesn't say poll in it and I never access in the browser and the app doesn't show polls, I have now voted.
