I shoot large quantities of film, from 120 up to 8x10 doing it by

was the most even processing. What's funny is that most of the Jobo
owners that I have spoken to have similar problems with eveness. When
I asked a Jobo tech, they told me that I might need to turn my
processor 90 degrees in relationship to the earth's magentic
field!!!! Now that's what I call customer service!

Sounds more like someone with a sense of humor to me. I never have had
uniformity problems with the Jobo after getting the 2509N reels for 4x5.
I use the 2501 reels for 35mm (and I could use them for 120 or 220 if I
shot that size).

Mechanical agitation that is invarying inevitably will be harder

Gee and I thought consistancy was the objective. I didn't realize
that varying agitation was part of the creative process. ;-
