It can be considered an insult on this list, but...
I use my Jobo CPE 2 to do 5 135 film at a time, using 625cc chemistry from the
Kodak kit. Using standard measures, and "pipette" (I do not know the exact
English term for glass calibrated tubes to measure small volumes of chemistry)
it is easy to make the batch.
With this method, my slides are _really_ perfect !
I know, it is not directly applicable to LF, but...
Jobo state that their expert drums can handle at max 8 1/2x12 film sheets...
Maybe a scissor will help ;-)
So Jobo is not the way to go ...
HAve a nice day !
