Pre-soak for no less than 5 minutes for all developers except one which is XTOL, I think. Jobo did a lot of tests to determine this. The time for Ilford 3200 @1000 is 5 minutes, Kodak Plus X 125 @125 is 6 minutes, less if you shoot it at 64. If you look at the website Digitaltruth, which I'm sure you know, take 10-15% off the suggested development times for the Jobo. That's what I've been told. The Jobo gives consistent results. I've been hoping that another filmmaker will make a simpler, cheaper version for their B&W films so that there will be a replacement out there for the time when my Jobo breaks. I don't think that's going to happen. I'll be lucky to be able to find film, chemicals and paper at a decent price then. Doug
