T-Max fixer bottles

[Peter Black]

This is probably a bit off-topic, but I'm trying to find out the size of the 1 litre bottles of T-Max fixer to see if they'll fit in the cut-outs on a Jobo CPE2? My reason is that I can buy them for less than the cost of Jobo bottles and effectively get free fixer while I'm at it!

Interesting, yes. I never even know they made (marketed?) T-max fixer. Maybe a UK thing? Looks like the Ilford bottles might also fit (maybe we only get those in the US?)

There was a thread over at LFPF, http://www.largeformatphotography.info/forum/showthread.php?t=68675&highlight=Jobo+bottles+CPP where they discussed this. I think someone asked around for the bottles over here too within the past two-three weeks.

A bit of trawling in the thread gives me this: http://www.computeruniverse.net/info.asp?id=90356864&used=&idused=&sr=Hama+Flasche+1000ml+braun for european customers. Shipping and customs is a killer for anyone trying to get things from one side of the pond to the other these days.

And actually answering the original question: it was a long time since I used these bottles (ten years or so) but I think they are the same size as the Hama bottles mentioned here, or the Ilford ones too.

Kodafix Bottle Size

Dear Peter,

Here it is marketed as Kodafix. I don't know if the bottle is the same but the diameter is roughly 96mm, the height to the shoulder is about 145mm and the overall height is about 200mm.
