    Btzs tubes are a great way to experiment with different developers, dilutions, and dev. times.

    Another vote for the Mod Photographic processor. Easy to use and great results.

    it all has to do with the money!!! for the price a FR//DORAN next Yankee then 4X5 Film tanks and Hangers then after that it all go to HE__ price wise
    AT ower school I have 1 of almost every way to process 4x5 what I like are the old
    Kodak adjustable tank & reel for easy loading next Yankee OR BTZS
    I also like Angelus Color tank & Price Monotank they are Daylight Tanks that use
    hangers.
    I don't like HP Combi-Plan for students they have to much trouble with them!!
    Nikor & JoBo reels are harder to load then Kodak & Yankee

    That is why they are used at so many schools for half a century!

    My favourite is the Paterson Orbital, assuming you can find one. They seem to be more readily available via the UK (which is where I sourced mine from).

    Sort of like a daylight tray, which can do four 4x5", two 5x7" or one 8x10", and uses very little developer. Very, very easy to load.

    Jobo 2509n reel, 2500 tank, and loader.

    Nothing better than this setup, especially for Pyro.

    Forgive me for today. I had a meltdown.

    I am having severe problems with computers and just seeing a screen

    I also forgive my father and mother

    They had it tough. Straight from Highschool to WW11.

    Here is a small daylight tank that can hold 2X3 X 12

    I show inside it a 2X3 contact print of Father made in 1939 It looks new!

    I'm liking this one a lot. It can do 4x 4x5 or 2x 5x7 or 1x 8x10. A daylight tray! 500ml of chemistry, small footprint, the film is fully submerged all the time. Best of all you don't have to mess with anything to load them. Just open the lid and put the sheets in there.
