I use a Jobo CP-P2 to develop film and feel that it has made life simpler. I get consistent developing. I am not dependent on anyone doing it, it has allowed me to check my metering and refine my developing times. It is a lot drier way to develop film rather than by hand in tanks that always seem to leak. It fits under my sink. I'd advise anyone to make life easier for themselves and improve their negatives by buying a Jobo. Buying a Jobo is only a plus in my book. The negatives of the machine concern the negatives. The plastic film reels need some getting used to, but not much. The trick with them is to trim the two side edges of the film before trying to load it on the reel. The softer angle facilitates getting the film on th reel. This is especially true for 120 film.
