Title: 6 Sheet 5x4 B&W Film Processor For Paterson 3 Reel Tank
Post by: MorganODonovan on July 11, 2010, 05:27:29 pm
Hey All,

I don't know about all of you, but my lab in London is now charging £5.50/sheet to process my B&W 5x4 film, which is becoming very expensive.

As i love shooting this film for portraits I've been working on a way to do it in a Paterson tank.  Not the TACO method but a proper work around.

I've come up with this solution-

It is working very well for me, but there are a few things to note.

Gentle agitation

Load it with 6 sheets

Load with the emulsion side in

If you would like one I've a few that I've made on ebay-

Let me know,
