The thread is called
Developing Sheet Film in a Paterson Orbital Processor
It was started by Trevor Crone. I hope it is of some interest.

The MPP is an excellent and very versatile 5" X 4" camera. May I suggest FP4?

I had to laugh, but I'm sure we've all taken pictures, where obviously something caught our eyes and then when we've developed the film, in whatever format, we look at them and maybe contact print them and think... Why did I bother taking this or that picture?... or pictureS in many of my films.

I know that I've taken a lot of 'boring' pictures in my time and will probably continue to but as long as they give me pleasure along the way, I'll continue, hoping for a good one occasionally... LOL

I'm glad you're using the camera Paul. I hadn't used it for a few years and decided that it needed a good home.

Maybe one day I will buy another LF camera, I certainly wont rule it out.

Have fun.

Keith.
