The sound of it "Jobo" is starting to not sound so Satinistic to me. There are hidden advantages to the system. C41 and E6 for the masses. Prints even! So i continue to check it out and want to give it a try. But continuous agitation like we have discussed I have a hard time getting past. >> Mark, All I can say is that I love my Jobo! I use it only for processing B&W film, and it does a great job with less work on my part. I don't have to stand around staring at a timer. Instead I can do other fun things like laundry- my darkroom is next to our washer and dryer. If you are worried that you will not get the same results with constant agitation as you do now, (edge effects etc) I would suggest running some tests. If you like, I would be happy to run some for you. Let me know off list. I think you will be pleasantly surprised. I have not done any real serious tests between the 2 methods, but my film now is more consistent and evenly developed than ever, and just plain looks good. If there are differences, they must be very small. Regards, Richard Wasserman
