I shoot large quantities of film, from 120 up to 8x10 doing it by hand would
be prohibitive. I bought a Jobo because supposedly, it 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!

Mechanical agitation that is invarying inevitably will be harder to

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