## Overview

The Yankee Plastic 4x5" Sheet Film Daylight Developing Tank is a compact, lightweight solution designed for sheet film developers who need versatility and convenience. Its removable rack supports multiple film sizes, while the improved chemical flow design aims to deliver more uniform development. Though discontinued, it remains a practical choice for daylight film processing with easy loading features.

## Description

The Yankee Cut Film Daylight Developing Tank has an improved design that provides for better chemical flow and more uniform agitation. The removable rack accommodates cut film from 2-1/4 x 3-1/4 inch to 4 x 5 inch. The rack has a translucent flange and a film guide for easy loading.

Review: Light leaks - It is nice because you can develop 12 sheets at a time, but loading is a learning process. Because the lid does not secure tightly, there are light leaks at the edges of film. Agitation it weird also, you agitate back and forth rather than up and down or immersion. This could lead to uneven development.
Review: Little more than a bucket. - This tank doesn't have any kind of seal on the lid, which means it sloshes chemicals when agitating. Due to this, the level of the chemicals drops throughout the development, making it uneven. I also experienced bubbles on the film at the top due to the liquid level dropping. If you simply want to do a stand development with no agitation, it may work, but I would stay away from this one.

### ⭐⭐ Light leaks
*by J***N on November 15, 2023*

It is nice because you can develop 12 sheets at a time, but loading is a learning process. Because the lid does not secure tightly, there are light leaks at the edges of film. Agitation it weird also, you agitate back and forth rather than up and down or immersion. This could lead to uneven development.

### ⭐ Little more than a bucket.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Yankee film tanks are ageless - in the right hands
*by D***F on January 22, 2020*

I have found the Yankee Agitank processing developing tank to be ideal for my way of working. That's not to say it's for every photographer or lab. No, it's not invertible and will indeed leak if tipped even slightly if it's full. (There is a warning on the lid that states agitation must be side to side.) In fact, I don't use it as a "daylight" tank - I go "lidless". I process in complete dark, agitate by slightly lifting the rack up and down, for 30 seconds and let the film be still for 30 seconds, per each minute. It's the rack that I find to to be the best, over the smaller tanks on the market or even to be found in the past. I own one of the supposedly excellent Combi Plan tanks. It's OK, but only holds a maximum of 6 sheets of 4x5 film. The Yankee holds 12. I shoot a considerable amount of film and appreciate the volume. Yes, as one reviewer pointed out, the Yankee tank requires enough chemistry to cover the entire the rank and fill the large tank: 55 ounces. If I am processing 12 sheets of 4x5 film, which I often do, that's an acceptable investment of developer $. (I dilute my homemade D-76 at 1:2 which means I am using 18.5oz to 37 oz.) I found the rack easy to load and found no uneven development marks. I would have gone for 5 stars but nothing's perfect. I suppose loading could be a bit easier and the materials could be a bit more durable and not fragile - the hard plastic is prone to crack or break if dropped. But after the vexations and challenges of tray development (my second favorite) and surge marks from metal hangers, the Yankee is my preference.
