8x10 film dev - what do you use as a process?

Hi Steve,
Yes, the base of the Durst Codrum is excentric and personally, I've only ever used a motor base, so I can't vouch for alternative methods such as table top or in a water bath.

Regarding volume, I have more tanks, so I prefer to process multiple sheets after each other. I tend to use 800ml Xtol diluted @ 1:1 for 4 sheets of 8x10" film.
Kodak recommends 100ml of neat developer per 80 sq. inches of film.
I find this gives me both the capacity and volume for good development.

I tray process one sheet at a time using the tray rocking method. I have tried everything under the sun, but it's the only method that has not caused uneven development, which is especially noticeable in areas of uniform tone, like clear skies.

[I used to develop 8x10 sheet film] One sheet at a time using a hanger using D76.

Somewhere along the line, I picked up some Calumet, plastic 8x10 sheet film hangers. Like many sheet film holders that were sold, they result in streaking. So, I customized one of them to eliminate this problem.

But alas, 8x10 is a thing of the past for me. I'm getting rid of all my 8x10 equipment.
