Homemade emulsion hand-coated onto 4"x5" and 5"x7" glass plates. The dry plate emulsion is about an ISO 0.5 equivalent.
Sounds like a good time, Vaughn!Some 4x5 Tech Pan again, Just received my jobo 3006 Expert drum -- I will have some fun!

Have not shot 4x5 in any great amount in a long time...and doing ten at a time at the same time/temperature just seems a little extreme for me. I tend to vary time/temp a lot -- based on the contrast range of the scene and the printing process. The last batch of Tech Pan I exposed had a scene with just a 3 stops range and another with 9-stop range...and everything inbetween. Basically, I lick my finger, stick it in the air, notice it is wet and take an educated guess at the time and temp. (based on images of similar scenes, how I exposed, developed and printed them).Why be 3006? That's the 5x7 drum. Unless it's simply your first expert drum and you got a good deal? However I can't believe you don't have 3005 and 3010 drums already with the kind of shooting and hear you already have.

I have three 3005 tanks, which can also do 5x7 easily enough. But the 3006 is designed for 4x5 and/or 5x7, gives me options. Would love one for 11x14, but to do 5 or 6 negatives, it would be the diameter of a 50 gallon drum! Well, maybe a 30 gallon drum...
But I see more 4x5 and 5x7 negatives in my future as the 8x10 gets heavier and heavier!
I can not get TMAX 100 in 120 right now so i thought about try FUJI Acros but I am scared to try new film LOL

Man, Acros is one hell of a film. Kodak's inability to maintain supply should be your cue to try something new. Also, I have never, ever had a problem sourcing Acros film. It's my main 100 speed film in 120 size.
Going to order some this week how does it do in D76 ? I will post some photos form my first roll
