I bought one sp-645 before Christmas and I am very happy with it. I intend to buy one or two more. The appeal for me is that I can use the same amount of fixer as I use in a Paterson Universal tank (2x35mm or 1x120 film) so the chemistry maths gets easier.
 
I use open half gallon tanks and process 12 4x5s at a time with Evolution hangers.

Will 5X4 film fit 4x5 holders? I've used Ilford film and never had to rotate it. Do they make special batches for export?

It was explained to me, the history of the English driving on the left was to be able to brandish a weapon with the right hand while driving.
 
I know this isn’t the poll question, but an SP-457? YES PLEASE!!!!! (I love my sp445)
