4x5 in Paterson tank

Hi,

 

For those of you who use the Paterson tank to develop 4x5 film (either the Taco

method or the reels wiht a spacer) - do you use continuous agitation or do you

do like it was a rollfilm?

 

Just curious because I'm about to develop my first negs.

 

Thanks.

Radu,

 

if you'll be using intermittent agitation, be sure you have enough solution to completely cover your film between agitation cycles. If, on the other hand, you use continuous agitation, you need only use the minimum volume required by your developer. Good luck.

Radu,

 

I've had good results by both methods, but have switched to Jobo expert drums for rotary development, and Jobo 2509 reels/2500 tanks for reduced agitation development. The drums and reels came with my ATL-2 Plus processor, and work really well. Good luck.
