If you are just starting out, consider Ilford HP-5+ or Kodak Tri-X either developed in D-76 or Ilford ID-11 (virtually the same).(posted 8639 days ago)I have a Jobo, but don't do B&W in it. Most of the B&W developing times are based on intermittant agitation. Unless you want to a good bit of testing, I would not use the Jobo.
