I want to do 4 X 5 and 8 X 10 Large negs. I don't have a darkroom
with running water, but I do have a (not completely dark) bathroom. I
assume I can load Jobo tanks in the dark and do all other processing
in the light -- correct?

Any advantages or disadvantages of Jobo over tray-development?

Is there a better way to go than Jobo?

Jobo works well, but it's not cheap. You can buy
an awful lot of black plastic sheeting and duct tape
(how I made my darkroom dark) for the cost of a
processor - or even many of the drums.

I just did a batch of Provia 100 4x5 in my CPE-2 and
2521 drum. I got the processor for a decent price on
EBay, but paid quite a bit of money for drums to go
with it.

If your bathroom isn't completely dark during the day,
try it at night - it's a lot easier to get really dark
at night. This is how I do my black and white sheet
film, the old-fashioned way, in trays. It just takes
practice not to scratch the sheets when you agitate
them.

Let's take a little poll and let the majority (that is not to say
super-majority) decide: how many here believe that hangers are the best way to
develop sheet film? Show of hands?

BZZZZZZZZT!

Thought so: Scar-pity: 0, everyone else: ___ (fill in number of posters here)

It's so painfully obvious that you, the shrill decrier of those who blindly
follow received wisdom (the Zoan Sistum in your case) are a sheep-like
follower of some bad advice dispensed by the Great Yellow Father some years
ago. Or who knows where you got that bad advice. Who the hell cares, anyhow?

What do you all think of a poor-man's solution for the Jobo Expert 4x5 drum:
use my winter-processing B&W technique - float the drum in a tub of
temperature controlled water and manually rotate it, reversing direction
randomly. It can't be too hard to come up with a way to pour in the
chemistry. (The drum will float won't it? )

Not only that he has the nerve to claim Hasselblad is the only MF camera
in the MF group,......what an ass he is.
