Overall pretty delighted with this. Velvia has enlivened what was a pretty flat sky, and even with that vast expanse of flat colour that showed up all the errors in my processing technique (a few streaks and waves suggesting I do need still to hone my rotation with the jobo drum), the spotting took far longer (too many hairs on my film today, for whatever reason! Have just processed 3 more sheets, this time Portra 160 in Bellini C41. First two in Jobo 3005, third in Stearman Press SP810 tray (sheets 11-12, and sheet 13, of the 16-sheet limit of the Bellini Kit.
