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.
