    4x5 in a Paterson 3 reel tank

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/5x4-Film-Proce...-/130446396897

    Anyone seen or better yet used on of these?
    Looks like an interesting alternative to the combiplan or Paterson Orbital route......................

    Never seen before.
    But the plastic doesn't look better than the combi-plan...

    Re: 4x5 in a Paterson 3 reel tank

    I have just purchased one, but have yet to use it. The combi-plan takes a while to fill and empty; with the Paterson tank this will be much quicker (better control of development times), and not as messy as the combi-plan.
    I am trying to get the manufacturer to do on for 5x7. This is planed to fit the 5 reel Paterson tank, but will do 4-5 sheets and not 6. However, it is better than the 2 sheets at a time I do in the orbital. If your are interested in the 5x7 please email and show your interest

    What size of tank will you be using? I am thinking of buying one but my biggest tank will only hold two 120 size spirals (3x35mm spirals). Would I be right in thinking that this will be too small and that I will have to go for the longer tanks that takes 5 35mm spirals (3 120 sprials)?

    The 2x120 paterson tank is the 3 reel one mentioned.

    There's a thread on ASPUG about these holders and the guy making them has posted in that thread.

    I'm very interested in seeing how these work out too.

    I think I remember that thread, but I don't remember if I followed the whole thing or not. Do you have a link?
