Sorry to join this thread so late, but I would also recommend the Doran cut film daylight developing tank. I been using them for years, just do be wary of burrs on the guide rails which can cause scratches on the film.

I use the Doran tank from BH in New York, but I believe it was only about

I have processed 4x5 film in tanks on hangers for years; never had any
problems. I think it has to do with the agitation technique: I learned
from Bruce Barnbaum to lift the hangers straight up, tilt them about 45
degrees to the left, back into the tank, then up and 45 degrees to the
right. I
Another bonus with the 10 drum is that when new they are supplied with a
rubber stopper which keeps the 4x5 sheets separate during development,
with no need for the screen. Very convienent.

Of course, if one wants to go the seriously cheap route, you can use halftone
film, which I've done in the past. A sheet of 10X12 should cost around half a
buck, and developing in dilute Dektol (I've used 1+10 to 1+20, depending upon
the scene) will minimize the contrast.

If you want to try saving a bit on film try the Bergger and Forte brands.
Both make a good 8X10 film. I think Bergger has larger sizes available as
well.

with this method, however I will give you a tip on what not to do...
A few years ago while my wife and I were living in a small apartment in
California,
I used trays for developing 4x5 film (Tri-X, Plus-x, and now TMAX) for years
(without any scratching that I recall). But, I got to where I really hated
standing in total darkness while developing (it became sort of like a
deprivation chamber, without the freedom to let your mind roam). So, I
I'm not trying to start an argument but if one does tray processing reasonably
carefully there
is little risk of scratching film. It is possible, but I don't think I've ever

scratching.

Rob,
The way I process my sheet film is to slide the film in the tray, emulsion
down, and then agitate front to back a couple of times then side to side a
couple of times. Let rest. Then at 30seconds, lift one corner up and down a
couple of times to agitate. It will create agitation both in

I use 4X5 and 8X10 all the time. The advantage is that you can use film

I use TMax 100 4x5 in HC110 dilution B, simply cause I have a bunch left
