I've read up on this stuff a bit but still have some questions for e-6 films.
1. When doing 5 sheets of 8x10 in the expert drum, should I use 1000ml? I know that's well over what jobo recommends but kodak recommends 250ml per sq. ft. of film. I'm only going to rotate in one direction with expert drums.*
2. My lift has a lot of tension that seems to be built in. So much that I'm afraid to lift it w/o grabbing the cradle even when there's no drum attached. The previous owner said it was always like that. (I plan on attaching a "lift helper" anyway) Is there an adjustment to make the lift raise freely?
3. I was told that storing e-6 chems in the fridge (I'll use nitrogen too) makes them last longer. Is that for mixed chems or the raw kit chems themselves?
4. What are the recommended times for push/pull? Is there a kodak pdf on that? I shoot a lot of velvia, provia, epp, 100vs, etc.
5. Which are newer, the black 120 reels or the clear ones? They look very similar, is there a difference?
thanks

*because bi-directional rotation isn't necessary for these drums
