B's 4x5 reel, experiences?

OK, if we're going to talk alternatives instead of using the B's reel, I can highly recommend the B&W King stainless steel tank (eBay) or a used Nikkor 4x5 stainless steel tank. I've never used a Nikkor tank, but have developed hundreds of sheets in the B&W tank; and, it holds many sheets of film.

Thanks, Daniel. I bought a MOD54 to try. I'll probably sell the B's reel since other people really like it but it's not working for me.

If you’ve never used the Nikkor tank how can you highly recommend it?

I figured that since the Nikkor tank is very similar in design to the B&W King tank similar results would be obtained. That said, perhaps I worded it poorly. I can recommend the B&W King tank. The Nikkor tank is simply another possible solution for 4x5 film development.

So is the CombiPlan T for daylight developing and the CombiPlan L for dark processing.
