Automatic processing Machines

Yes this is the reason, i'm trying to buy one to see quality


Do you have one for sale? I have friends that want to buy one v30/v50

No I don't have one but I feel they are much better deal than say the Jobo ATL. A few years back when minilab (like those in drug store) shutting down they are plenty and cheap but now I guess they are all gone.

Using a Noritsu or other minlab machines for 30 rolls per week is not a good idea, you need a minimum tank turnover or the chemicals are going to be wasted more sooner than later and probably some roll too. Also sheet film can't be run through these machines. For those reasons is not unsusual to see a Jobo processors (ATL or CPP) on commercial labs.

Maybe something is lost in translation here, but they are offering a machine that's functionally similar to machines that sell for 5x as much in the West.

That sounds like how China uses to roll...

The Noritsu V30 could work with 30 rolls per week.

A rule of thumb is that you need to turn over your developer tank volume, in replinisher, once a month.

The V30 has a 7.6L tank. So 30 rolls per week = 120 rolls per month.
Using Fuji Environeg developer replenisher 60AC the rep rate per 135-24 film is 60ml.
60ml x 120 films (135-24) = 7.2L so near enough.

It may be worth considering and it could be a back up for your other V30.

Hello, i want to buy an automatic processing machine. Actually i have a filmomat light but i need more automation. I have one noritsu V30 but i will continue using it.

My idea is the more automatic possible but that i can deal with C41 (dev bleach and fix Fujihunt) and e6 (tetenal/adox 3 bath)

1. Jobo ATL1500 (2000 €)
2. Dev.A (6000 €)
3. Filmomat (5000 €
4. Osiris F1 (i'm speaking with some chinese people to get references from the machine) 1500 €

Around 30 rolls per week/session

Prices are orientative
What do you think?

Osiris F1 second generation in china is about 800-1000 Euros（depend on accessories like tanks reels），in these days I bought a second hand one produced in 2016。And I contacted the manufacturer and ordered a new motherboard, a new motor, and a new air pump. The manufacturer is still operating. However, they probably don't have any staff who speak English or Spanish to handle overseas customers. If you want to order, it's best to have a friend in China help you place the order and confirm that everything is working correctly before sending it to you.Incredibly, they're also upgrading the motherboard; now both standard C41 E6 programs can be customized.
Furthermore, I completed my Master's degree at the Glasgow School of Art, where I used a Jobo ATL 1500. I can say that, to this day, I haven't noticed a significant difference between the two machines. However, I will definitely upgrade to a JOBO ATL 2000 or similar machine in the future.
