Just wanted to get a quick poll on what your different development methods were?
I've just taken receipt of my Photo Formulary Slosher. Must say, it was the easiest darkroom method I've tried so far. That said, I've only tried two! (the slosher and hand agitating/shuffling sheets).
Previously I was using a Paterson Orbital but I found it continually had streaks, marks and scratches on the negatives. I believe some people DIY their Paterson Orbital a little bit more than I did, such as removing the fins, which I suspect to be the cause of the marks. Since tray developing, my sheets have been far, far cleaner and the only time I've scratched them, I've clearly been to blame. I must say, impatience gets the better of me most times and I end up not washing or drying the sheets properly.
I've just put four sheets through the slosher and I'm going to be self disciplined and let them dry until the morning this time!
