Higher dilutions which we try to do anyway Presoak which we do anyway some of us. Switch to color or XP2 which is ok with continuous agitation. I see the Jobo as an incredible useful thing which will also make your prints. Jim Brick and some other Lugnuts make incredible use of it. But if your main thing is 35mm black and white silver photography it's not what i would recomend. I have two liter tanks which hold 8 Hewes reels each. Two of them I have a gallon of stop and fix mixed up so i can run both of them at once, that 16 rolls. In my pre Xtol days when i used to load my reels back to back i could and did do 32 roll runs! That's a lot of flim to hang up cut and contact! But 16 is plenty and i normally do 8. I think you shoot more when you know your tanks can hold it. They should sell film in 8 roll 35mm propacks if you ask me! Tanks again! Mark Rabiner Portland, Oregon USA http://www.rabiner.cncoffice.com/
