[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I use Paterson tanks for developing 35 mm and 120/220 mm film. Each of these tanks come with a device with which you can rotate the reels back and forth while the tank stays on the tabletop. I use this rotating method instead of inverting the tank, one back and forth rotation substituting for one full (90 degrees and reverse) inversion. I find this method simpler and less messy since there's no possibility of spillage and I don't even have to use the tank cover. I would like to solicit other people's opinions about this method. There may be advantages/disadvantages to either method that I am not aware of. Thanks in advance. Ben
