    Re: Height of Darkroom sink?

    Why not just check and see what commercial darkroom sinks use? Yes, they are still being built and sold, mainly to educational institutions, etc.

    Re: Jobo ATL800 & 1000, opinions on them?

    I don't think there is that much difference between a late CPP2 and te new CPP3. The CPP3 is basically the CPP2 (with all the later mods) reincarnated.
