[LargeFormat] Jobo & 4x5 B/W Sheet Film

[TigerShark]

Also there is a tube system by BTZS.  Small pieces of plastic pipe with
screw lids.  You can rotate 6 of those in a water filled tray.  And you
can develop each one for a certain time a la zone system.
If you are on a budget I guess you could fabricate them yourself.  

For some reason I think the pipes and Expert drums give a more even
coverage than the reels, and certainly use a lot less chemistry.  Also
loading reels with sheet film is quite a chore.

I have a few Jobo Expert drums, and I love them.  Very even development
with one shot chemistry so very repeatable.  For B&W you wouldn't even
need the processor, since you can roll the drum on a counter top at room
temp.  The processor can make life easy if you have a lot to do, and
gives many other options.

I have been using a daylight tank, typically developing between 8-10
sheets
in a 12 sheet tank, and am not happy with the results. Uneven and
underdevelopment seems to occur every other time. I would like to try
something new.

I would only be developing B&W. Jobo processers have been discussed
lately,
and they seem to offer consistency and ease of use, something I'd like.
I am
really confused as to what components are exactly necessary to develop
sheet
film.

Some insight into drum processors and an idea on cost (I'm in the US,
BTW)
for the neophyte would be cool.

Thanks.
