<p>For what it's worth (three years later, I'm still doing my own c-41 and E-6 processing at home with great results - I began because the local lab couldn't get the E-6 push/pull down as precise as I would have liked), I do my developments in a heated bath, and control the temperature with an aquariam immersion heater. It only cost about $20 at my local pet store and is quite precise (they have to be for tropical fish to survive!) Hope your development was fun, and that others are still developing out there! I'm doing 4x5 film only, and it ends up being MUCH cheaper and, frankly, for the E-6 stuff, of better quality (once you've got your method down).<br>

<p>I just found this info for the MAC group (posted to this page in case anyone else is as helpless as I am!)<br>

They're closed right now, but I'll call them tomorrow if I haven't figured this out by then.</p>

<p>First off, I wanted to thank all the photo.net large format folks - I've enjoyed finding the answers to many a question on this site!<br>

Hopefully, someone can give me quick aid to what seems like it should be an easy question. I just got an inexpensive, used TOYO 45CF that the seller claimed was 100% functional. But the front standard is super loose when in the "locked down" position (i.e. the little knob on the standard turned either left or right).<br>

I'm used to tightening TOYO 45CX standards with the little hexagonal key - but I can't see how this thing is supposed to tighten! I found a manual online but it didn't say, and I couldn't find any discussion of this either on the forum or out there on the net (and I looked for a while - even if I'm perhaps not an internet research guru, I thought I'd manage to find it somewhere!)<br>

Can someone please indicate how I tighten this, and with which tools?<br>
