Re: Developing sheet film in open-ended PVC tubes

Sandy,

If I remember correctly, it was Phil Davis. The procedure should be
described in one of his book "Beyond The Zone System." While this is from
memory, I think it is correct since the tubes are also known as BTZS
(abbreviation from the title of the book) tubes.
