I don't remember why Xtol is different. > Kodak has publication J-108 that gives times for XTOL in several dilutions for virtually all available 35 & 120 films using a roller drum. They have already calculated the effect of continious agitation in the tables. Jobo suggests the pre soak in order to compensate for the increased contrast over intermittent agitation. Jobo says soak for 5 min and then use regular developing times. There id a faq about this on the Jobo website I always use the kodak times with XTOL in my patterson tank on an old Ciba print roller.
