Yes, but only if you use the tanks at 1/2 capacity, which, in the case of the 1520, translates to ONE roll of film!! >Would I be better off with the 2500 series tanks? Unless you really want to process a single roll at a time (take my word for it, you don't). I will pick up the largest 2500-series tank using under 600 ml of chemistry, which happens to also be the capacity of the bottles supplied with the CPE-2 Plus. While you're at it, you may also want to purchase one of Jobo's 5-liter bottles, which are the only ones I've seen in this size, and which are perfect for mixing up a batch of Xtol. Jeff
