    Nope! Not the Yankee tank. It gives uneven development. You'll only see it in sky area or such, but it is there. I have one, and I have tested it with some ND exposed sheets.

    Instead, I suggest the HP Combiplan.

    If you have some tanks for 35/120 why not look at http://www.largeformatphotography.in...ad.php?t=66356

    That is what I have heard from multiple sources. I returned my Yankee tank and the HP Combiplan to FreeStyle and got a Jobo 3010 Expert Drum based on the recommendations of FreeStyle and Per Volquartz.

    Maybe not affordable, but if I am going to go through buy one tank after another I decided to just go right to the end of the chain. I do not have facilities to tray develop => I might as well add that before someone suggests it.

    I leave the digital work for the urologists and proctologists.

    You should be able to find a tank. This can either be rolled by hand on the counter top or maybe find a Jobo hand crank roller base or another roller base. I used these methods for years. Now I'm using ABS drain pipe and made something similar to BTZS tubes. They work fine for my 4x5 and 5x7.
