The JOBO comes to mind as an alternative because, it seems, a lot of people use them and are pleased with the results. My concern is this. If I understand the JOBO's operation correctly, the tank is in continual rotation throughout the entire developing process. If that's the case, it would seem that shadow density and highlight density would be substantially changed from using small tanks by the constant agitation, and that a different EI and perhaps substantially less developing time would be needed for a given film/developer combination. How do those of you who use the JOBO compensate for the different agitation of the processor vs using a small tank with manual agitation? - -- Shel Belinkoff mailto:belinkoff@earthlink.net "... there is no point in pressing the shutter unless you are making some caustic comment on the incongruities of life" - Phillip Jones Griffiths
