Jobo 3005 Developing Tank Expert Drum

After fighting with manual dip-and-dunk trays for years, this drum makes sheet film processing almost foolproof with its even chemistry distribution across all five 8x10 sheets. The first roll came out perfectly flat with no uneven development streaks.

After years of wrestling with inconsistent development on my 8x10s, this drum finally gives me perfectly even negatives every time. The five-sheet capacity is perfect for my workflow, and it fits securely on my processor without any wobble.

The ribbed interior on this Expert drum really does keep the chemistry moving evenly across all five sheets—my 8x10 negs came out more consistent than anything I've managed before. Only gripe is it's a bit of a chore to load in the dark, but that's the trade-off for the capacity.
