In my quest of finding the cheapest possible means of developing 4x5 film, I found these Sterilite containers on clearance at Wally world. They are 2.5 Qt. / 2.4 L and measure 7 3/8" x 5 5/8" x 6" (18.7 cm x 14.3 cm x 15.2cm). I got four of them for $1.97 each with lids, it was all they had. When the little handles are flipped up, the film hanger will rest on them and just clear the bottom of the tank. It takes 1.7 L to comfortably cover the film

Here I'm using Diafine (A and B), Stop (Actually only water since I'm using Diafine) and Fixer. I need to check a different Wal-Mart and see if I can pick up a couple more for normal Developer and Washing.

Next I'm going to construct a light safe cover that I can use when I do stand development to allow me to cover up the tank so I can turn on the lights.
