Dave, I'm wondering if I've missed a(nother) beat: Is this the jobo tank
for 4x5 film development you're talking about? If so, I'm curious about
one thing. The instructions that came with mine say theoretically it takes
6 sheets but for optimum results only load 4.

That was bought maybe 10 or more years ago, so models may have improved by
now -- do you suppose? (Or maybe the fellow who loads 6 sheets in complete
darkness without a problem has other special powers on tap?)

cheers,

Judy
