I'm just getting back into 4x5 after twenty years. I sold all my gear long ago and am starting from scratch.
I think the best option for me is a reel and tank system to develop 4x5 BW in small batches (I average 6-8 sheets per outing). The two reels I'm looking at are the MOD54 (for the Paterson tank system) and the Jobo 2509n reel in a 2500 series tank.
My question is which one of these is easiest to load in the dark?
(While I'd prefer a better option, like a Jobo 3010, that's out of my price range at the moment after buying a camera, lenses, etc. Perhaps I can consider it in a few months.)
