    Everything is tilted left

    There is no way that every wall can tilt to the left. Think about a square or rectangular room in your mind work on a way to tilt all the walls the the left. You cannot, it is physically impossible.

    Sunglasses & Case Camera Idea

    Even stealthier than the OP's idea is a Tessina camera on a wrist strap. One can even have the tessina with a light meter on the camera. I have one of these cameras and the wrist strap so I will not need your product.

    Owners of Jobo CPA/CPP: is it worth it for B/W?

    I agree and as I pointed out before with the Jobo processor the development is much more consistent due to the constant agitation and even pouring in and pouring out of chemicals. I do not use the water bath for black & white processing.
