[LargeFormat] HP Combi Plan

[mark blackman]

If you have a chance to get your hands on a Combi Tank, grab it quickly.
Once you've managed to sell it on eBay, use the money towards a Jobo-type
system, preferably using the expert tanks.

The combi tank is a pain in the arse, with slow fill/empty times, a fiddly
film holder system and nasty twist valves you have to mess around with to
fill and drain it. If you can't find some shmuck to take it off your hands,
use it to hold a sodium sulphite solution for washing Polaroid 55 film.

For the last many years when I have shot 4x5 it has always been chrome, 
sometimes c41. The only time I have done any black and white was always in a

roll back. Now I am going to spend a little more time working on personal 
work and think that I would like to start shooting and processing my own 4x5

bw. I do not want to get into a large darkroom set-up . . . I got rid of all

that years ago, so my question is as follows;

Anyone here have experience with the HP combi-plan tank? It looks like it 
would be perfect for what I intend, but I have nagging suspicions . . . ???

thanks in advance
