    I'm the guy to talk to! An old friend of mine, Phil Davis, invented the BTZS tubes. In fact, he invented the whole Beyond The Zone System thing, and showed me how to do all the steps. The tubes are really good, and they allow you to do good, even processing of the sheets without a lot of gear. Couple tubes, a couple trays, and a measuring cup, and you'll be all set.

    Also, I would recommend D-76 developer. I've done a lot of testing on developers, and that one gives really good, solid results. Even gradation throughout the tonal scale. Use an acid stop bath, and Rapid Fixer.

    If you want more detailed instructions, shoot me an email.
