Jason,

The curl factor was my concern given that the film uses a thin estar base.

Think I'll go for the 4x5 hangers as a safer option.  Like the idea of a
wall rack, but may adapt a pair of wires currently used to hang prints.

Presumably you have tried a few different developers - what is your current
preference?  Any processing time info. etc if you use a Jobo without lift
would also be interesting.


All the best,
