Forced perspectives are fun. They say the 50mm is suppose to be approx to human eye's FOV but the moon seems to always look too small in diameter when photographed with one on 35mm format compared to what I see. I think a 70mm makes the moon more about the size I see but I dunno.

Chris: when doing 4x5 in the tray, are you basically doing stand? - my understanding with the monobath you dont want to use agitation

Derek,
My recent experience says otherwise! In the trays I just rocked them gently, as I hadn't read the New55 advice at that time. When I saw the stripes of drag marks on the Plus-X, I spent a couple of hours doing various google searches for monobath + agitation and read all I could find. Essentially, the only info out there is what New55 wrote. Now with those marks being caused by solution flowing through the sprocket holes I can see that a complete stand development with absolutely no movement might work too, but given that my only prior experience with bromide drag was with Diafine - for which the cure is more agitation - I decided to go that way first.

Chris:

thanks for the info. When I found the recipe for the monobath I wanted to give it a try. I think id like to try with sheet film as I tray develop my sheets one at a time and it takes quite a while to get thru all the sheets.
