Looking around, this is indeed a great price. How does one load 4x5 into it?

Each sheet slides into a slot, I’ve had great luck running 6 at a time, one in every other slot, haven’t tried all 12. I’m told you can load 24 by putting sheets back to back but I’ve never tried.

Dirk Fletcher gave a good description… Height is adjustable with dimples on each rail for the popular film sizes. The band comes off and after loading snaps back on to keep film from sliding out during development.

I used to get surge effects from the central bands when I developed using the “Kodak” scheme, so be careful with agitation.
