			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Jobo daylight film processing system seems confusing at first, and their web site is an unhelpful mess, but IMO it&#8217;s worth working through, because the stuff is good and does what it says it&#8217;s going to do well. Here&#8217;s what I have (all link to B&amp;H):</p>
<p><a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/115414-REG/Jobo_2561_Six_Reel_Film_Tank_with.html">#2561 tank with magnet base</a>, holds 2 x 4&#215;5 reels (12 sheets total), or 4 reels  of 120, 220, or 127, or  6 reels of 135. You can get <a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/25495-REG/Jobo_2560_Six_Reel_Extension_Module_for.html">extension tubes</a> for this tank to make it huge if you want to. There is a variant of this tank with a cog, which I&#8217;ve heard sucks for inversion and roller base processing, so unless you&#8217;re going to get the fancy temperature controller processor, stick with the magnet.</p>
<p> <a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/25534-REG/Jobo_2509N_4x5_Sheet_Film_Reel.html">#2509N sheet film reel</a>, holds up to 6 sheets. (Also holds 9x12cm.)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/25522-REG/Jobo_2502_Adjustable_Reel_for_35mm.html">#2502 adjustable reel</a>, fits 135, 127, 120, and 220 (you can gang up 2 rolls of 120 onto a single reel).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/25524-REG/Jobo_1509_Roller_Base_for_Combo.html">#1509 manual roller base</a>, not necessary if you opt to use more chemistry and do inversion.</p>
<p>This gives me a nice, flexible system that will handle 135 through 4&#215;5 in the same tank for not a lot of money. I&#8217;ve been really happy with it so far, I like it better than the Paterson system I was using for 135 and 120 and the dreaded Combi-Plan (of which I wrote a very profane <a href="http://photondetector.com/articles/hp-combiplan/">review</a> and <a href="http://photondetector.com/blog/2006/05/06/combiplan-still-sucks/">follow-up</a>).</p>
<p>There&#8217;s also the <a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/25486-REG/Jobo_2508_4x5_Film_Loader_Base.html">#2508 sheet film loader base</a> (requires a <a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/25454-REG/Jobo_2512_4x5_Film_Loader_Guide.html">film guide</a>), which is meant to make loading sheet film easier, but I&#8217;ve never used it.</p>
<p>If you want to go fancier, there&#8217;s the <a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?shs=jobo+expert&amp;ci=0&amp;sb=ps&amp;pn=1&amp;sq=desc&amp;InitialSearch=yes&amp;O=product.jsp&amp;A=search&amp;Q=*&amp;bhs=t">Jobo expert drums</a>, which are for sheet film only. I&#8217;ve heard they&#8217;re unbelievably easy to load, people seem to really love them, but they are more expensive, and I haven&#8217;t used them and can&#8217;t comment on them, either.</p>
