Hi, I'm considering getting one of these, and wondering if any one has had experience with them. The one I am considering is said to be for 11 x 14s It seems to involve a holder/tray that has slots for the individual prints, and is immersed and removed from a larger tank, which is responsiblefor the water flow. The dimensions that are available for the unit are 12" x 17" x 6" deep. I'm assuming that these figures are for the removable tray, and that the prints will fit completely within the tray slots, but I cannot find that out for sure. If so, what are the larger dimensions? If you have experience with this model, what was your impression.

<p>Different sources give different developing times for the films, developer, and methods that I am using, so I thought I’d check in here for advice.</p> <p>I am currently using D76 mixed 1:1, 4 x 5 sheet film, and tray developing with constant shuffling.</p> <p>I’m using some TMax 400 because I needed film in a hurry, and that’s what the store had, but usually I use TXP 320.</p> <p>I plan on switching to using tank development with hanging sheet holders with constant agitation for the 1^st minute and 5 seconds agitation each 30 seconds thereafter. The switch is primarily due to scratches showing up on negatives ( I didn’t have that when I worked with this film 3 years ago)</p> <p>Anyway, what would people recommend for times for these methods with that developer, and those films?</p> <p>Also, when you change developing time due to a temperature change, does that affect contrast, or is everything the same in every respect.</p> <p>Thank you for your help.</p> <p>Jim Benson</p>
