[LargeFormat] Re: 11x14 JOBO tank

[John Roseborough]

List people,
If this hasn't been answered - JOBO make an 11x14 film processing drum
#3027.  It's their 11x14 print drum with a plastic insert designed to hold 1
sheet of 11x14 film.  I made an insert that takes 2 - 11x14's which really
speeds up the process.  I commercially process B/W film using Pyro and/or
what ever developer one whishes and E-6.

Hope this helps,
