Maybe a little off the topic of this list, but the reason for bringing this
question up is that with my current way of processing sheet film, I often
get too contrasty negatives for cyanotype.
I am lookin for a daylight developin tank for 4x5. I do not want hangers.
Tray processing is no alternative because my darkroom in not lightproof
enough for film in summer, and I do not like to put my fingers into the
developer.
Today I am using a Jobo rotary processor with a sheet film drum, but
neither diluting the developer nor cutting back on developing time produces
the long tonal-scale negatives I get using smaller film formats with 2-bath
developers and much less agitation.
If anyone can recommend me a good daylight tank (lightproof, cheap, one
that is not leaking, readily available, etc.:-)), I would be grateful.
Equally important from my geographical standpoint, is a place I can get it
from. As I have to order it by fax or e-mail, it is really of no importance
where in the world that is, except there probably will be a need for them
to undertand english, and preferably accept Visa.
Thanks
