[Largeformat] Unicolor drum for neg development



From: Don Wilkes <don.wilkes@gems9.gov.bc.ca>

Greetings, all...

I joined this list about a week or so ago, and posted a message about using
a Unicolor (colour print)drum for 4x5 b&w neg development. Did this message
actually make it to the list?

Until I can rebuild my darkroom to be light-tight enough for neg
development, I'm scambling for some options. I have a very small closet in
which I can do film loading etc, but there's no way I could develop in
there. Hence my thoughts about having a shot at using my old colour print
drum. I anticipate some streaking issues, so was hoping someone else out
there had some hints, or a whole other way of tacking this problem.
Daylight tanks for sheet film aren't exactly common out there, it seems...

Cheers,
