film photography – how to develop 120 rolls of film quickly?

Yes, I am old, I use medium format cameras black white film. In fact, I use a lot of films these days, are all 120 roll film. I myself develop. I can forThe movies small plastic tanks used by Jobo. The plastic sheeting can be set to 35 mm or 120 movies. If I have done 120 films, I can insert three films in a tank. Is it possible to develop more than three movies at a time with these tanks?

No, you're not old. Many photos are always taken with film and printed in a darkroom. Especially in black and white. If you put a film reel: The reel is made for 220 films Jobo so that two of 120 films and enjoy a coil. Just shoot first, as you are used with your thumbs at the end of the coil. It is a small red pin that can be pushed after loading 120 to block a film reel. Lock the reel and pull in the second film. The anchor is to prevent films touch the other. In general, if not available, people lose or throw away because they do not know what it is. If the pin is not always be used this way, just make sure to shoot the first film reaches the end of the coil and do not shoot the last film more after the end of the last film on reels. Practice test with two movies for less at first, while you can see what you do. Once you know how to do it, practice with eyes closed. From you deal with your eyes closed, you can do in the dark really. This also can be done when you use Patterson tanks and reels. But it is more complicated because they use a different system to get the movie on the reel as a pawn to all. There is another advantage of treatment this way: you use less revealing. In a bathroom are developed twice in the entire film. In the last link below you can see a picture of a Jobo reel with the ankle slightly.
