Yes, that's an important point. Specifically, the Expert Drum works only
in
the CPP-2, CPA-2 and ATXL-2x00.

...as well as the ATL-1, -2, -2 plus, and -3.

Really? You might want to inform Jobo that their web site is wrong.



Those are older models. I doubt Jobo is too interested in promoting items
they don't sell anymore.

Thanks for that, Nick. I live in the boonies and have never even seen a
Jobo, so I depend upon their official web page. If it's wrong and out of
date, so be it.

It's all special order here. So I just order from the US and pay less then
50% the special order price. What can you do. It would be nice if Jobo USA
would go back to answering questions on this newsgroup.

Thanks all, for the info.

I'll be procesing B/W. I have a hanger & tank set-up, but I find I
get uneven development on the edges -- no matter how gently I
agitate.

Dunno about the more recent machines, but my ATL-1 has a setting where
it will 'rock' the tank at certain intervals on top of rotating it. The
manual says this is for preventing uneven development with large-format
using the expert drums. Never tried it myself, though.
