I have the opportunity to buy a Beseler 11x14 color Unidrum and a motorized (i think) stand. I'm thinking that this might be useful for developing 4x5 and 8x10 black and white film. Right now I'm developing large format film in PMK in large tanks. This works pretty well. I can develop five or six sheets of 4x5 at a time in Kodak hard rubber tanks. For 8x10 I can develop about a dozen sheets at a time in very large tanks, but this uses a lot of developer. I'm wondering how many sheets of 4x5 or 8x10 I can develop at a time in the Unidrum. I'm wondering whether I will end up using less developer. And, of course, I'm wondering if there will be any difference in the results.

Thank you in advance for your thoughts.
