The simplest and cheapest method of developing 5 x 4 sheet film is in an open dish using the "shuffle" method. Its drawback is that it is not easy to load the sheets of film, with wet hands, one at a time, into a pre-bath of water. It also requires some skill to avoid damaging the film...

Personally, I would like to see Paterson Ltd design a series of light-proof trays with dividers and a ribbed base specifically for processing sheet-films of various format sizes.
I`m sure it is well within their capability provided that Large-Format camera users show enough interest in buying such products. |

I think the Orbital is a great design which uses a minimum of solution to work. I couldn't believe it was enough until I tried it with the lid off.
Welcome to FADU Roger. Nice to hear from you again since you disappearerd from APUG. Steve. |

I think that it would be something worth having, but I don`t know if anyone else thinks the same. If there was enough interest from large-format camera owners, then perhaps Paterson Ltd might consider designing something like it. |

Have moved Bill's ready-made Slosher post to: http://www.film-and-darkroom-user.or...2740#post22740
as an option for those without the necessary Blue Peter genes... |

Alan, you have a novel approach there and I'm sure it is very effective. I often process sheet film one at a time in a tray. If I could offer one bit of advice;
You don't need to worry about the light getting in after processing is complete (development). You can lift the lid once the dev is out and pour the stop, then fix in with the room lights on. There will be no difference in density, because the exposure you are giving it, isn't developed. |
