a) yes, aspect will roughly match the inside of the drum. When I do it, I use a
format holder (an
old Jobo 4512) where I can put two 12x16" in the drum (an old 4551). This
holder has just some
"pins" instead of the usual ridges. Not perfect but less visual impact.
b) yes, for large prints, takes a lot less space (and chemistry) than trays and
you can do the wash
in the drum: I put a shower inside the drum (standing vertically) and let the
water overflow.
I use it mainly when I have just a couple of prints to do. I'll build something
for really large
formats one day ...
c) never tried, but will !
I've tried both Bergger Variable NB and Ilford FB MG, same results.
