    If that was in reply to my comments, I do have a Lift, so it at least doesn't SEEM that slow.

    Re: Pre-wash of film - good or bad???

    I started doing it routinely when I got a Jobo (including Ilford films) with no problems.

    I did get uneven development on some 4x5 with the 2509n reels - I have a CPE2 - and yes I used the “bat...

    Re: Film from China?

    Lots of discussion on Photrio (formerly APUG) of the 220 Shanghai in particular as it is, as far as I know, the only film available in 220 now. Lots of reports of QC problems, unfortunately. Seems a...

    It will also matter not at all as long as you are consistent and work out your development times to your own practice. Whatever you do, just do it the same every time and its fine.
