I agree the tanks used for inversion processing fill very rapidly if they are standing upright but we are talking about the jobo processors where the tanks have cog lids and are on their side when filled. What you say is in direct opposition to what is being said at (there was a url link here which no longer exists) so you can resolve your differences between you. You can't both be right unless one of you is talking about tank lids used for inversion processing which I wasn't talking about.
And just for completeness from a Jobo publication on 2500 series tanks which are designed specifically for rotary processing...
Note:
The ATL1500 uses a 5 minute pre-rinse in its standard B+W film cycle too.
Shrug. I have, and have used, inversion tanks, and now have, and use, a Jobo. I think I can pour the amount of solution needed for, say, four rolls of 120 into my Jobo lift a lot faster than into a four reel inversion tank. Of course the fact that the inversion tank requires substantially more solution impacts this as well, so the fill rate may not be that different.
And also of course, inversion tanks are BEST used already filled with solution and the entire stack of reels lowered into the tank in the dark. This will be faster and more even than either the Jobo lift or regular filling of the tanks, but I suspect most people do not actually do it that way.
Bottom line is I get good results with the five minute presoak and I don't intend to change it to satisfy someone on the Internet who doesn't agree. Or even Ilford. I break manufacturer's recommendations for many products frequently.
