It's so easy to develop B&W with the Jobo, it's amazing I didn't try it earlier! Xtol seems to give the fine grain I like, the trick is perhaps to fine tune something is get more sharpness. The scanner part is working OK, not ideal yet, but getting easier. Might be interesting to do an experiment with Wet print direct from the negatives vs. scanning and then print using say something like the 7960. Anyone game for that? (I don't have an enlarger...)
