Good but instructions were vague

The tank itself works well once you figure out the loading mechanism, but the included paper instructions were very brief. Had to watch a YouTube video to understand the proper locking technique.

Great value, minor fit issue

Works exactly as described for 120 film. The only reason for 4 stars is that the funnel attachment feels slightly loose compared to the original Jobo funnel, but it doesn't leak during normal use.

Perfect replacement for my old tank

I needed a second tank for batch processing and this fits my existing Jobo reels perfectly. The build quality is solid and the lid seals tightly without being too hard to open.

Durable and reliable

I've put this through dozens of development cycles with various chemicals including harsh fixers. No signs of wear or staining. It's become my go-to tank for weekend projects.

Essential for sheet film work

Using this for 4x5 sheet film processing has been a game changer. It holds the sheets securely and allows for consistent agitation. Highly recommend for large format shooters.

5 FAQ

Q: Will older Jobo 2500 reels fit in this new 2520 tank?

A: Yes, the 2520 tank is backward compatible with the entire Jobo 2500 series of reels, including the older 2500 and 2501 models.

Q: Can I use this for E-6 color slide film processing?

A: Yes, the materials are resistant to E-6 chemistry. However, precise temperature control is required for E-6, so ensure you have a suitable water bath or processor.

Q: What is the minimum volume of developer needed for two rolls of 135 film?

A: For two rolls of 135 film, you typically need approximately 600ml to 700ml of solution to fully submerge the reels, depending on your specific agitation style.

Q: Is the center column removable for cleaning?

A: The center column is fixed and not designed to be removed by the user. We recommend flushing the tank thoroughly with water immediately after each use to prevent residue buildup.

Q: Does this tank come with reels included?

A: No, the Pilot 2520 tank is sold as the tank body and lid only. You will need to purchase Jobo 2502 series reels separately.
