Jobo CPA2, CPE2...makes it easier?

[Gid]

I'm looking at the CPA-2

http://www.secondhanddarkroom.co.uk/30540/info.php?p=5&pno=0

CPA2 for £175 which is about $350, but that is probably without the lift. Check out the Jobo ATL1000 on the same page - now that is a cool machine.

You can either use the Paterson plastic tanks and reels or you can go to the
older Nickor stainless tanks and reels, they will last a lifetime.

Just google loading film in tanks, photo.net is a great place to find answers in
their Film forums.

Hi George. If your just after the process of developing 120 film, I would have a hard time justifying anything other than a daylight tank. I have used Nikor stainless steel tanks (I must have eight of them in various sizes) for over thirty years, and find it to be extremely simple and efficient. They are plentiful and cheap on ebay and locally on craigslist. If you would like to borrow a one or two reel version to try out, pm me (I live just east of the UW and work in Kent).
