[largeformat] Morse Developing tanks

[Jim Hemenway]

I don't know Les as I haven't heard about this system before.  But for 
4x5, why not try a Nikor 4x5 stainless tank.  They show up on ebay now 
and then, although I don't see any now.

Or, one of these on ebay:

3875175315
3874299962
3873221305

I have one of these which I use occasionally for quick E-6 work.
