Re: Jobo 2840 drum for film
I never mentioned that since I dry my sheet film hanging from hemostats, it was just a natural thing to grab the film edge and pull the film out of the tank. This eliminated any concerns about negative removal. A good hemostat only needs about 1 or 2 mm of film edge for a good grip.

That's what I do. With the drum standing in the sink, full of water, getting the film out is very easy. No specialist tools needed.
Re: Jobo 2840 drum for film
Hmm, well I didn't win the tank I was bidding on. I didn't really pursue it after some of the comments you guys left. I didn't really know how much it was worth.
Should I keep my eye out for one or just tray process it? My 8x10 is staring at me right now. That bastard.
I have been shooting the rollei and I cleaned it the other day before I went out and the mirror broke. Now I'm stuck with a 5D. I feel sick.
I just need a somewhat easy method for developing. I don't exactly have a darkroom. I use a tank for my 120/220. This is what intrigued me so much about that jobo tank.
I told myself I wouldn't use the 8x10 again until I could process the film myself, so any advice you guys have is greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.

Hmm how much is it worth? Difficult to say: I bought an Unidrum for 5 reels at a "buy it now" sale for 29.95€ and was kicking myself until I saw one going for 62.70€ 2 days later. I got overbid on a 2553 without reels and it went for 59€ while I won an 2563 with 6 reels for 30€. I know the 2563 is to big for my CPE but the reels alone is worth more, at least to me. So how much is it worth? How much are you willing to pay.
You can tray process your 8X10. A friend of mine does that, but It is very easy to develop sheet in a 28XX drum and I think we have all experienced ueven development regardless of the method used. I find the CPE2 and the 2840 drum to be the easiest and best way for me. The Paterson Orbital resulted in some uneven negs and so did inversion agitating a Paterson 3 reel drum. Then again my largest negs are 13X18cm and YMMW. talking Pyro, there are some formulas especially for Rotary processing one of which is called Rollo Pyro. Havn't tried any of them though just wanted to mention it
Best regards
Re: Jobo 2840 drum for film
Bumping up a seriously old thread here but I need some advice.
I just got a 2840 drum with the cup lid. I want to develop some 5x7 film and my question is regarding what lid to use to maintain a light tight seal on the drum.
The drum comes with the cup, can I still use that (I suppose it's used for paper so why not film right?). Should I hunt for a cog lid or can I use the lid of my 2521 drum?
What do the other users of the 2840 drum use?
Any help would be appreciated ;)
Matt.
Re: Jobo 2840 drum for film
Look at the second photo down in this thread, thats the stopper you will need for the
funnel lid.

Re: Jobo 2840 drum for film
The stopper Greg references above is probably the best for both film and paper but you can also use the cup for film as you do with paper.

Same here, the film will touch the ribs and you'll have even lines from less staining at that part (that is on the back of the negative...):(
Tanol Speed is what I used. Quite annoing, a 3005 is out of reach at the moment...
