I am a newcomer to LF photography, having recently purchased a 4x5" camera, and am now looking towards developing solutions.

As it stands, I have ordered a Jobo 2850 (2830 + 2870) for my prints, which should arrive within the next week or so. My understanding, however, is that 4x5" prints are not possible in this setup, suggesting that the same applies to 4x5" negatives (I have done a lot of reading on this subject in LFP's forums, and it seems that many people develop their 8x10s in 2800 series tanks, so I would assume theoretically 4x5" is also possible).

Is it possible to use the 2850 for 4x5? I can get some reels if necessary, although I don't know whether the 2509n would fit. Otherwise I am thinking about a Paterson orbital since I can't find 2500 series tanks on ebay...

Thank you in advance for your help.
