Yankee plastic 4 X 5” sheet film developing tank.

This tank is sturdy, compact, can hold a dozen Carr sheet film holders in sawtooth grooves in the top, is compact, has a floating lid and a snap on lid. It’s perfect for my use. Just my own thought but I’d suggest getting one for each separate chemical used and setting up a developing station to save time over a dump, rinse and fill method for each chemical using only one tank.

1/2 Gal. processing tank for 4X5 film

Great for 4X5 film using film hangers... Cover fits tight and has floating inside lid as well. Works great for fixer or if you replenish developer.

Just a tub

This is just an overpriced plastic tub with what appears to be a translucent inner lid, presumably because the opaque lid isn't light-tight. No rack included for 4x5 negatives. You're better off developing 4x5 negatives using sterilite trays.

Inexpensive developing tanks

I use these tanks for the stop bath and fixer when developing 4/5 film. They can be used with either film hangers or the developing insert from the Yankee 4x5 developing kit.
