On Saturday, John (jmilkins) and I developed 11 rolls of film in one hit. It was pretty easy, and we managed to almost clear my backlog after a month of heavy work and make a small dent in Johns. I find it quite easy to do large batches like this; we started developing one tank and then when the developing done and it was time for the stop/fix/wash, we started to develop the next one. It works pretty well with no stress, and we get to reuse the stop and fix so its a bit more economical.
We could have kept going like this for a long time, but a few things ended up limiting the number of rolls we could do at once. The first was we basically ran out of dry reels. We had 1 Paterson five reel tank, 1 Paterson two reel, 2 Jobo tanks, one with 1 and the other with 2 reels, and a generic Paterson compatible tank with one reel which gives us our 11 rolls (7 HP5@400; 1 Kentmere400@400; 3 Fomapan400@250). The other thing that held us up (and caused us to slow down) was drying space. We had run out of film clips and had to hang the rolls outside. Fortunately it was a nice day and the film dried quickly.

So, whats the most number of rolls you've done in a single session? And what was the limiting factor?
