[LargeFormat] Jobo & 4x5 B/W Sheet Film

[Jim Brick]

I use a 3010 drum which will develop up to 10 sheets of 4x5 film. It is the 
epitome of even development. But it requires a fairly large version of the 
JOBO. I have a friend that uses a JOBO tank and sheet film inserts that 
will do up to 6 sheets in a 2521 tank or 12 sheets in a 2551 tank. He uses 
hand inversion and gets wonderfully consistent results.
