Bought a CPE 2-Plus - Tank question

[Sean Galbraith]

I've bought a Jobo CPE 2-Plus that came with a 2840 (man that is large) and a 1520 tank. I plan on using the equipment to process C-41 and E-6 4x5 (mostly) at home. What other equipment or gear should I get to best optimize my development workflow (film holders?). I'm a total noob at this.

For up to six 4x5 negatives, etc. you need something like this:

Any work arounds for the tanks I have?

with drum 2500, the small white rollers are mounted directly
with drum 1500, remove the white rollers, insert clips (with angel inside, like A not V) and replace the rollers on the clips.
That moves the drum-axis in the correct position
Sorry I'm not fine in english but in german:mad:
Kind regards

Thanks for the info.

Just won a 2551 with a 2509N on fleabay. Now I just need to find another 2509. :-)

I bought two 2509n's and a spare 2521 last week from Freestyle Photo in Los Angeles. They shipped the same day.

It's possible to develop 4x5 films in 2840 drum. Just put them in the drum between the inner ridges, like how you'd do 4x5/5x7 prints in 2840 drum. You can develop up to 8 4x5 films in it, but you have to re-calculate how much developer you'll need. I think at least 360ml is needed for 8 4x5 films.
