Of course, if you already use a pre-soak, then the constant agitation WOULD cause you to overdevelop. HOWEVER: if you use XTOL do NOT pre-soak! Instead, use Kodak's listed times for rotary processing. I've just begun (today) to use a Jobo after a 15 year absence from photography so I can't offer opinions yet on how it works for me. Feel free to email me direct if you'd like to exchange notes. Bruce
