I don't know if this is absolutely on topic, but i'm sure a lot of you
might be able to give me some advice. i think i sent out a message about
how i acquired a 4x5 field camera. since i got it i've been developing the
negatives in trays in my bathroom, and i'm wondering if there might be an
easier way. processing 35mm is so easy because i can turn on the lights
when it's loaded, but with 4x5 i have two trays on the counter and one on
the toilet and i have to kind of get used to maneuvering wierdly in the
pitch black bathroom (i know, if you had night vision goggles and spent
some time with me, you'd probably laugh your asses off).
so, what are 4x5 developing tanks? are they the same type of thing as the
canister for 35mm? can i load the film and then turn on the lights and
develop? should i just stick with the trays? i'm building a darkroom, and
it should be finished sometime soon, but for now, any suggestions?
thanks,
Steve
