Here is how to make the Paterson Orbital bombproof!

This is something I should have emphasised more in my original article, though I did say the agitation should be gentle. To be clear about this, when I use a tray as described in the article, and when I use a Paterson Orbital, I lift the corners by the absolute minimum amount I can manage, i.e. no more than a few millimetres. After gently lifting one corner like this I move straight to another corner, lifting sucessive corners in a random fashion. The objective is to get the developer to move very gently. That way you get even development. Alan |

Richard,as you are getting even development you will no doubt stick to what you are doing as it is obviously working for you. But if anyone is getting uneven development along an edge of the sheet of film adjacent to the outside of the container, then very gentle agitation is worth a try.

Richard, I notice you list angling as your main interest. I used to live not too far from you and used to fish the Dove a lot. Happy days!

Thanks for the link Richard. What an interesting site; complete with black and white photographs too. I take it you are "Regular Rod". It's the ideal thing to read through as I await the start of the trout season. (All those non-fishing types on FADU don't know what they're missing!)

Richard - This isn't the only thread that refers to the Orbital: there are a couple that started more recently and you can easily Search for them.

The divided dish has been a game-changed for me, when using Pyro developer.
I just made a small one so far, for two-off 5x7" sheets. I drilled the dish and epoxied plastic bolts through from below, for a little more sturdiness. Easy to use when wearing rubber gloves, and no sign of flow-marks on negs as far as I can see ( the 5x7 sheets can move around a little, relative to the pegs, which helps) . Next step - a bigger dish for 4-off. Thanks Alan ! |
